$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.

Experimental data on the loss of coolant from a pressurized-water test loop are presented. The test loop simulated the components of a full-sized reactor plant with an electrically heated test section, a pressurizer, a heat exchanger, and a circulating coolant pump. Leaks in the coolant system were simulated by rupture disks at various locations. The test results are compared with predictions using the FLASH computer program. The calculated system-pressure transients showed good agreement with the tests. The pressure differential across the test section exhibited an oscillatory behavior, as did the predictions in one of the three tests. Measured test-section temperatures showed a considerable variation from predictions; however, these temperature predictions represent an improvement over those using previous calculation methods.
