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 method has been evolved for the calculation of the fission-product gas pressure inside operating UO2 fuel elements. The calculations are based on a model in which the hot center of the UO2 pellet is assumed to flow plastically under stress, and the outer annulus is cracked. The calculated pressures are shown to be in reasonable agreement with experimental measurements of the gas pressure inside fuel elements.
