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 method to determine the probability of a turbine missile striking a specified region of a nuclear power plant uses the concept of geometrical probability of a missile trajectory to intersect a target area. The geometrical probability is derived as a function of the missile exit parameters and the plant geometry. The method is general and can be applied to two- or three-dimensional problems. A computer code, TURBMSL, has been developed by the United Engineers & Constructors to obtain the numerical results. The effectiveness and the reliability of the present method has been demonstrated.
