$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.

Subcritical multiplication constants have been derived from static and pulsed measurements for arrays of large, hollow cylinders of uranium-aluminum alloy. The cylinders were of two types: 11.21-cm-i.d., 20.07-cm-o.d. bare 235U-Al alloy castings and 10.07-cm-i.d., 12.27-cm-o.d. Alclad “logs” extruded from the castings. The alloy was 9.985 wt% enriched uranium (92.2% 235U) in aluminum. These measurements extended previous benchmark experiments with small diameter rods of lower enrichment into the region of larger diameters and higher enrichments. The transport diffusion theory codes MGBS-TGAN overestimated the values of keff for the arrays tested by 7 to 12%. The more sophisticated Monte Carlo code KENO was more accurate, with errors less than 5%.
