$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.

Prediction of the room-temperature fatigue life of Type-347 stainless steel, irradiated to 5.5 × 1021 and 11 × 1021 n/cm2, was attempted from tensile tests and the use of Manson's relationship. It was found that the total strain vs cycles-to-failure for irradiated Type-347 stainless steel can be predicted reasonably well for total strains of 1 to 2% at both levels of irradiation. However, the predicted fatigue lives were conservative for total strains that are <1% for material irradiated to a fast fluence of 11 × 1021 n/cm2. Not enough experimental data points were available to correlate the measured fatigue life with predicted fatigue life at total strains of <1% for stainless steel irradiated to a fast fluence of 5.5 × 1021 n/cm2.
