$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.

Tungsten-184 is a useful dosimeter for thermal neutrons, particularly for high temperature applications. Correlation of neutron flux with 59Co activation and 235U fission density for short-term irradiations is shown. The 184W thermal-neutron capture cross-section in the Plum Brook Reactor was found to be 1.94 ± 0.08 b. Cadmium ratios for 184W are ∼⅕ of the value found for 59Co in differing spectral regions of the reactor. The radiochemistry and counting techniques for 185W are described.
