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.

Measured burnup values of about 100 enriched-uramum driver-fuel elements irradiated in the Experimental Breeder Reactor II are compared with calculated values based on run-to-run subassembly-delineated transport analyses. These elements have bumups in the range of 0.3 to 1.6 at.%. The scatter of the ratios of calculated-to-measured bumups indicates that the composite precision with which measurements and calculations can be compared using current methods is from about ±5 to 10%.
