$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.

A mutual inductance probe has been developed to determine interface locations between gas and liquid metal and between liquid salt and liquid metal. The probe is a bifilar coil of Nichrome wire on an alumina form contained in a Type-304 stainless-steel or ceramic wall. A high-frequency voltage supplied to one winding induces in the second winding a voltage that is related inversely to the depth of liquid surrounding the coil. Probes ≈5- and 14-in. long, were calibrated in liquid cadmium, bismuth, and sodium over a temperature range of 200 to 700°C. The device has several important advantages over other means of measuring liquid levels of corrosive fluids at high temperatures. It is compact, rugged, reliable, and reasonably accurate. For a calibrated probe, the average deviation in measured liquid level is about 3% of the length of the windings. The instrument is well adapted to operations in remotely operated facilities because it has no moving parts and can be replaced easily.
