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.

Whole body annual radiation doses to man due to tritium were estimated for hypothetical exposures to stack gases discharged from the Cherokee Steam Electric Station in the Denver area burning 94 million ft3/day of nuclearly stimu-lated natural gas containing 10 pCi/cm3 of tritium. The highest dose that might be received by any person outside the plant area was estimated to be 0.006 mrem/yr, using annual average weather data. This predicted dose includes 0.005 mrem/yr from the initial exposure to plumes from the stacks, and 0.001 mrem/yr estimated for exposures to residual tritium repeatedly swept over the area by wind reversals which occur almost daily in the Denver area. The total dose to the nearby population of 1.55 million people was estimated to be 3.0 man-rem/yr, of which 1.6 man-rem/yr are attributable to the initial plume exposure, and the balance is from exposures due to wind reversals.
