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.

Calculated depth-dose curves for protons and neutrons in the energy range 400 to 2000 MeV normally incident on a tissue-equivalent slab are compared with experimental values. The significance of these results for practical problems of radiation protection are discussed. In this energy range, a dose equivalent of 2 × 10−7 rem/fluence seems adequate for most exposure situations.
