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.

Improved multicollision neutron fluence-to-dose conversion factors have been calculated for a phantom exposed to neutrons with energies from 15 MeV down to thermal. The phantom was a 30-cm-thick slab composed of the 11 most common elements in the standard man. The calculations consisted of the simultaneous solution of the neutron and secondary gamma-ray transport problem with the ANISN computer code for both a beam source and an isotropic flux source, and for a slab having both infinite and finite transverse dimensions. The fluence-to-dose conversion factors were based on new neutron fluence-to-kerma factors and improved secondary gamma-ray yields determined for the individual elements comprising the slab. The neutron and gamma-ray cross sections used in the calculations are from the ENDF/B file and the OGRE library, respectively.
