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.

A mutual inductance probe has been developed to determine interface locations between gas and liquid metal and between liquid salt and liquid metal. The probe is a bifilar coil of Nichrome wire on an alumina form contained in a Type-304 stainless-steel or ceramic wall. A high-frequency voltage supplied to one winding induces in the second winding a voltage that is related inversely to the depth of liquid surrounding the coil. Probes ≈5- and 14-in. long, were calibrated in liquid cadmium, bismuth, and sodium over a temperature range of 200 to 700°C. The device has several important advantages over other means of measuring liquid levels of corrosive fluids at high temperatures. It is compact, rugged, reliable, and reasonably accurate. For a calibrated probe, the average deviation in measured liquid level is about 3% of the length of the windings. The instrument is well adapted to operations in remotely operated facilities because it has no moving parts and can be replaced easily.
