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 fission-spectrum neutron dose-rate attenuation curve has been computed by the Monte Carlo method for lithium hydride penetrations up to 67.5 g/cm2. Gamma-ray exposure dose buildup factors have been computed for lithium hydride using the moments method. Discrete gamma-ray source energies in the range from 0.5 to 10 MeV were used, and calculations were made out to 20 mean free paths (at source energy).
