$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 mathematical model that predicts the extent of fission-product release and fuel evaporation during a loss-of-coolant accident has been developed for a specific set of conditions. Theories of boundary-layer diffusion have been applied. The composition and pressure of the cover gas; the time molten; the chemical forms of the fission products and fuel; and the temperature, surface area, and amount of molten fuel are related to the amount of fission product and fuel released.
