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 mathematical model that predicts the extent of fission-product release and fuel evaporation during a loss-of-coolant accident has been developed for a specific set of conditions. Theories of boundary-layer diffusion have been applied. The composition and pressure of the cover gas; the time molten; the chemical forms of the fission products and fuel; and the temperature, surface area, and amount of molten fuel are related to the amount of fission product and fuel released.
