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 comparison was made of after-shutdown primary piping radiation levels between Shipping-port PWR first core and second core operation. Due to changes in materials of construction, a higher power core, and other design parameters, it was thought that the radiation buildup would be different during second core operation. It was found that the radiation level due to 58Co was greater during second core than first core due to the use of NiCrFe Alloy 600 steam generator tubing. All the other factors were found to essentially cancel each other.
