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 computer program named ORRIBLE was written to predict the flow and temperature distribution for steady single-phase flow through a bundle of 19 heated rods spaced by helical wire wraps in a hexagonal duct. Any combination of flow subchannels can be blocked at the inlet. The section can have an uriheated entrance length followed by a heated section and an unheated exit length. In the heated section, the linear heat rate of each of the rods can be individually specified. Turbulent interaction, sweeping crossflow due to the wire wrap, and transverse thermal conduction are considered. An approximate relationship for pres sure-diversion crossflow in terms of local axial mass velocities is used to eliminate pressure as a variable. Hence, the computational procedure does not require iterative techniques.
