$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.

Debris from the Schooner Event, a Plowshare nuclear cratering experiment, was fed to a lactating cow and to a pregnant cow. Milk, urine, feces, and plasma levels of individual gamma-emitting radionuclides were followed for six days in these cows. In addition, the radionuclides in the maternal and fetal tissues of this pregnant cow were studied. Radionuclides of tungsten, iodine, tellurium, barium, and rhenium were observed in milk. Those of arsenic, ruthenium, iodine, tellurium, tungsten, and rhenium were observed in urine. Maternal and fetal tissues contained radionuclides of iodine, barium, and tungsten, while maternal tissues contained these and radioarsenic as well.
