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.

Two nondestructive assay systems, the MEGAS and the Pancake Counter, for the measurement of transuranic contaminated solid wastes at 10-nCi/g activity levels, have been developed. These are Nal-based detection systems to be used specifically for low-density solid transuranic wastes. They are of value in effective implementation of new federal regulations pertaining to transuranic waste management in that they supplement the usual administrative decision making in waste handling.
