$40M investment to spur new nuclear developments in Idaho and Wyoming
On Monday, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that its Economic Development Administration (EDA) intends to award $31 million to the Intermountain-West Nuclear Energy Corridor (INEC) Tech Hub. The Idaho Advanced Energy Consortium (IAEC), the group that leads the INEC Tech Hub, subsequently announced that matching donations from its stakeholder partners will bring the total investment up to $40 million.

Carrier-free 132Cs and 129Cs were produced by the 129I(α,n)132Cs, 129I(α,4n)129Cs, and 127I(α,2n)129Cs reactions using thallous iodide as a recoverable target. Upper limits for the production yields of these isotopes are 25µC/(µA h) for 132Cs and 2 mC/(µA h) for 129Cs, for 35-MeV alpha particles.
