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 nondestructive in-place test procedure was developed to measure the efficiency for iodine removal by charcoal filters in the Hanford reactors exhaust gas systems. Tests were performed during the past few months on the C, KE, and KW Hanford single pass production reactor systems. Results from tests conducted on individual reactor confinement cells showed iodine trapping efficiencies of from 94 to 98%. The experimental techniques and procedures used also facilitated the simultaneous measurement of iodine plateout in the reactor exhaust duct systems.
