$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.

Fuel-element performance in operating pressurized-water reactors has been excellent. Over 250 000 fuel elements containing UO2, UO2-ThO2, or UO2-PuO2 fuel clad with iron- or zirconium-base alloys have performed reliably over a broad range of operating conditions. Experimental evidence to date suggests that fuel elements for pressurized-water reactors can be subjected to more demanding conditions.
