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.

The Interlaboratory LMFBR Reaction Rates program involves the determination of rates of neutron-induced reactions by the measurement of gamma-ray spectra from the decay of radioactive reaction products. A goal of the program is to determine certain nonfission reaction rates to an accuracy of ±5% and certain fission-product rates to ± %. These determinations require a knowledge of two nuclear decay scheme parameters: (a) the half-life, and (b) one or more absolute gamma-ray intensities. An evaluation of the experimental data on these parameters has been carried out for 20 isotopes, including 6 fission products. The uncertainties in these parameters have also been evaluated.
