$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.

Zircaloy-clad specimens of U3Si have been irradiated in pressurized water at rod powers of 480 to 565 W per centimeter of length to burnups of ≈ 5500 MWd/tU. The rate of swelling of the U3Si, which is rapid during the early part of the irradiation, appears to decrease with increasing burnup. The increase in external diameter was much less for these fuel elements than for earlier ones. The improvement is attributed to the provision of a central void which became filled by the U3Si during irradiation.
