$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.

Techniques were developed for the fabrication of seamless tungsten and tungsten-25%rhenium tubing. Appropriate procedures were established for primary extrusion, re-extrusion, and warm drawing. The extrusion uses the filled-billet technique, with molybdenum serving as the expendable filler which is subsequently removed chemically. Tubing diameters studied were from ≈½ in. to < 0.1 in., wall thicknesses being ≈0.1 times the diameter. A lot of 64 ft of W-25% Re tubing, 0.250-in. o.d. × 0.020-in. wall, was produced by primary extrusion and a series of moving-mandrel draws.
