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.

By use of neutron activation analysis and a simple chemical separation procedure, 14 elements have been determined in human whole blood. Gamma-ray analysis of the activated blood is performed with a Ge(Li) detector. The concentration range of the elements measured vary from ppb to ppt. Possible sources of error including sample contamination, fast nuclear reactions, and interfering gamma rays are considered.
