$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 fission-spectrum neutron dose-rate attenuation curve has been computed by the Monte Carlo method for lithium hydride penetrations up to 67.5 g/cm2. Gamma-ray exposure dose buildup factors have been computed for lithium hydride using the moments method. Discrete gamma-ray source energies in the range from 0.5 to 10 MeV were used, and calculations were made out to 20 mean free paths (at source energy).
