Nuclear safety board makes it easier to ask what they're doing

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board is updating its public information rules. People can now send requests by email or through a government website, and simple requests will be processed faster.

Government agencies are often slow to respond to public information requests, making it hard to track their work. This change means the public can more easily see what the nuclear safety board is doing. It also forces the board to explain why it denies a request, which makes it harder to hide information.
