$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.

Sutton's diffusion equation, which is commonly used for the computation of atmospheric dispersion of fission products, is modified to account for the effect of dilution of the fission products due to mixing of the contaminated air inside the reactor building with clean air prior to exhaust. The effect of radioactive decay is also considered. The resulting integral equation is solved for a specific example using a Romberg integration subroutine and the application of the equation to a washout calculation is described.
