No Radioactive Roads Act of 2025
This bill requires the EPA to revise its regulations to strictly regulate any future use of phosphogypsum (a byproduct of fertilizer production containing uranium and radium) beyond current restrictions. It mandates that EPA approve new uses - like road construction - only after reviewing detailed risk assessments, case-by-case evaluations, and strict limits (max 9.1 cancer risk per 100,000 people). The EPA must also require public disclosure of all approval requests and enforce comprehensive monitoring for water contamination and air exposure throughout a product's lifecycle. This directly affects construction workers, nearby residents, and communities near phosphogypsum applications by ensuring any new use meets the EPA’s existing cancer risk threshold. The bill does not ban current uses but sets new, stringent requirements for future approvals.
