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.

Two methods were developed for the determination of 236Pu in 238Pu. One method involves the direct measurement of 236Pu in the presence of 238PuO2. The second method consists of an indirect radiochemical determination of the ratio of daughter products from 236Pu and 238Pu (i.e., 232U and 234U). Both methods produce similar results, although each has its own distinct advantages.
