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.

Experiments with a ballistic piston compressor were made to investigate certain thermodynamic properties of gaseous UF6. Measured gas pressures, volumes, and temperatures were analyzed with a computer program employing a numerical optimization scheme to arrive at the desired properties. The thermodynamic properties deduced include the UF6 constant volume specific heat, specific heat ratio, and the viscous coupling constant for UF6/He mixtures at temperatures up to 1500 K.
