$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.

Neutron radiography studies have been conducted using an accelerator source of 14.3 ± 0.3 MeV neutrons and a water moderator. The yield of the accelerator was 6.18 × 101 n/sec. The peak thermal-neutron flux of the system was measured to be 6.87 × 107 n/(cm2 sec) at 5.1 cm from the source. A cadmium ratio of 3.4 was measured at this position. A theoretical two-group analysis of the thermal-neutron flux distribution was also performed. The experimental data verified the theoretical results. Neutron multiplication experiments were also conducted by bombarding a 238U target surrounded by the water moderator. It was experimentally determined that 2.5 cm of 238U yielded a maximum multiplication factor of 2.5.
