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.

Prediction of the room-temperature fatigue life of Type-347 stainless steel, irradiated to 5.5 × 1021 and 11 × 1021 n/cm2, was attempted from tensile tests and the use of Manson's relationship. It was found that the total strain vs cycles-to-failure for irradiated Type-347 stainless steel can be predicted reasonably well for total strains of 1 to 2% at both levels of irradiation. However, the predicted fatigue lives were conservative for total strains that are <1% for material irradiated to a fast fluence of 11 × 1021 n/cm2. Not enough experimental data points were available to correlate the measured fatigue life with predicted fatigue life at total strains of <1% for stainless steel irradiated to a fast fluence of 5.5 × 1021 n/cm2.
