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.

A behavior model for fission gas in irradiated liquid-metal fast breeder reactor fuels is applied in a computer code. The subroutine LANGZEIT calculates the “long-time” kinetics processes during steady-state operation. The results are used as initial conditions for the subroutine KURZZEIT, which permits the description of the bubble growth during rapid overpower transients. This model has been applied to the SNR-300-Mark I core. The calculations indicate a prompt precipitation of fission gas during the reactivity excursions, which results in a dampening effect on the reactivity ramps.
