$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 neutron monitor was designed with the unique feature of continuously self-auditing circuits. The monitor has four simultaneously operable channels; each alarms at a preset neutron level. Neutrons are detected by polyethylene-moderated BF3 tubes connected to the monitor by coaxial cables as long as 100 ft. Detector preamplifiers are not necessary and the detectors are unaffected by gamma fields up to 500 R/h.
