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.

Tungsten-184 is a useful dosimeter for thermal neutrons, particularly for high temperature applications. Correlation of neutron flux with 59Co activation and 235U fission density for short-term irradiations is shown. The 184W thermal-neutron capture cross-section in the Plum Brook Reactor was found to be 1.94 ± 0.08 b. Cadmium ratios for 184W are ∼⅕ of the value found for 59Co in differing spectral regions of the reactor. The radiochemistry and counting techniques for 185W are described.
