CLEAN SMART bill reintroduced in Senate
Senators Ben Ray Luján (D., N.M.) and Tim Scott (R., S.C.) have reintroduced legislation aimed at leveraging the best available science and technology at U.S. national laboratories to support the cleanup of legacy nuclear waste.
The Combining Laboratory Expertise to Accelerate Novel Solutions for Minimizing Accumulated Radioactive Toxins (CLEAN SMART) Act, introduced on February 11, would authorize up to $58 million annually to develop, demonstrate, and deploy innovative technologies, targeting reduced costs and safer, faster remediation of sites from the Manhattan Project and Cold War.

Using well-established nuclear engineering methods, an interesting new radiation imaging technique has been developed. Scattered neutrons and photons have been found to carry detailed information about the dynamics of the internal structure of an opaque object. Employing coded apertures and systems of collimators, scattered radiation fields have been examined to determine the extent and quality of the image information carried on these fields. A medical application of the results of this research has shown that movements of the myocardial surface can be detailed for diagnostic purposes. The success of this research effort substantiates the belief that nuclear engineering educational groups should more fully explore their own potential for growth and contribution in neighboring disciplines.
