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.

Carrier-free 132Cs and 129Cs were produced by the 129I(α,n)132Cs, 129I(α,4n)129Cs, and 127I(α,2n)129Cs reactions using thallous iodide as a recoverable target. Upper limits for the production yields of these isotopes are 25µC/(µA h) for 132Cs and 2 mC/(µA h) for 129Cs, for 35-MeV alpha particles.
