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.

An instrument proposed as a total-reflecting low-energy neutron spectrometer was designed, constructed, and tested at the Puerto Rico Nuclear Center. The tests consisted of measurements of the spectra of three slightly different core conditions at a radial beam hole of the swimming pool reactor of the PRNC. The data obtained indicate that the instrument is very sensitive and surprisingly able to detect changes in the neutron spectra due to small changes in the reactor core configuration.
