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.

Four boreholes were drilled in the Iraqi Western Desert area, and many isotope injection experiments were carried out to determine the effective porosity, permeability, transmissibility, storage coefficient, and velocity of the underground water flow using 131I as a radioactive tracer. The results indicate that the critical hydrological parameters (effective porosity, permeability, transmissibility, and storage coefficient) of the aquifer and the quantity of the water are adequate to provide sufficient high-quality water suitable for economic utilization. The radioactive technique used in drawdown for permeability, transmissibility, and storage coefficient measurements is specific and gave good results, whereas the classical method might be subject to technical operation errors.
