HEAL traveled through southeastern Utah to listen to communities living with Utah’s nuclear past and facing its proposed nuclear future. We shared information about RECA with newly recognized Downwinders and spoke with communities about proposed nuclear sites!
As Utah considers expanding its nuclear footprint, from new reactors and fuel production to high-level radioactive waste storage and disposal, we need to ask whether these projects are truly prepared for a changing climate.

Utah should not gamble with our communities, water, or the Great Salt Lake watershed. We need honest assessments of the long-term risks and costs before expanding the nuclear lifechain in our state. Join us on September 23rd for our lunchtime webinar to learn more!
🚨 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering changes that could weaken radiation protections, reduce public oversight, and make it easier for nuclear projects to move forward with less accountability.

Please share this thread with your friends, family, and neighbors.
Together, we can remind the NRC that protecting people—not industry convenience—must remain the priority. #ProtectPublicHealth #NuclearSafety #Utah
🚨 Utah is under its first Extreme Heat Watch of 2026.
🌡️ Highs of 103–105°F are expected this weekend, and the watch is likely to be upgraded to an Extreme Heat Warning.
Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous afternoon activity, and know where you can cool down!

Utah's July 4 experiment yielded an interesting result.
After Gov. Cox's statewide fireworks restrictions, Wasatch Front monitors recorded the lowest July 4 PM2.5 levels in five years.
Cleaner celebrations meant cleaner air, too.
1/5 🌱⚡ Big news for Utah’s clean energy future! As of June 2, 2026, 16 of the 19 original communities have passed ordinances to remain in the Community Clean Energy Program. That’s 94% of participating communities choosing to move forward toward 100% net renewable energy.
4/5 In March, the Utah Public Service Commission approved the program and gave participating communities until June 2, 2026, to pass ordinances if they wanted to remain in the program.
