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.

Dynamic nondestructive inspection of optically opaque systems can be accomplished using a dynamic radiography technique with thermal neutrons as the illuminating radiation. Dynamic radiography correlates the useful information in scattered radiation from vibrating objects. The information generally takes the form of three-dimensional frequency spectra profiles. Such data give the mechanical condition of objects. Thermal-neutron scattering from eccentrically rotating plastic pegs shows that single-point system correlation sensitivity can indicate the presence of pegs in. in diameter. Pulsed polyethylene cube experiments emphasize the effects of object nonrigidity on correlation to show how sensitive dynamic-neutron radiography is to changes in the mechanical quality of nonrigid hydrogenous materials.
