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.

The variation of the postirradiation creep-rupture properties with irradiation temperature has been evaluated for air- and vacuum-melted Hastelloy-N. The air-melted material was high in silicon and formed a stable carbide of the M6C type. The properties of this material were not dependent upon the irradiation temperature over the range studied. The vacuum-melted alloys formed a M2C-type carbide whose size and morphology depended markedly upon the irradiation temperature. When the carbides were finely dispersed by irradiation at about 650°C, the postirradiation properties were equivalent to those of the air-melted material. Irradiation at about 760°C resulted in coarser dispersions of the M2C carbide and inferior postirradiation properties.
