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.

An analog computer was developed to measure the safety factor against film-boiling burnout of reactor fuel surfaces. The instrument was used at the Savannah River Plant as an aid in manual control of power in one heavy-water-cooled and -moderated production reactor which operated with a specific power of over 220 kW/g of 235U and at neutron flux levels up to 6 × 1015 n/(cm2 sec).
