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.

An evaluation of the economics of producing ozone from oxygen in a system utilizing fission fragment energy is presented with a study of the design of such a system. The study covers a range of G values for ozone formation from 3 to 15 and chemonuclear reactor ozone concentrations from 10 parts/106 to 10% at an operating temperature of −20°C. A graphite-moderated nuclear reactor design, which utilizes a 2.5-µm thick U-Pd alloy foil as fuel elements, is employed. Ozone is separated by silica-gel adsorption; decontamination procedures are described. Investment and operating costs for the chemonuclear and conventional methods of ozone production are compared for an ozone production rate of 100 ton/d. It is concluded that the chemonuclear route becomes competitive with conventional ozonizers at a steady-state concentration of 0.1% ozone for a G value of 9 and at a concentration as low as 150 parts/106 for a G value of 15. The study indicates the need for research on fission fragment and radiation chemistry in the ozone-oxygen system at temperatures from 20°C to −78°C for determining the feasibility of these yields.
