$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.

The 235U content of a spent MTR fuel element enclosed in a lead transfer cask has been nondestructively measured by observing the delayed-neutron emissions following high energy neutron induced fission. Fourteen MeV neutrons from a (D,T) neutron generator moderated through 8 in. of lead were used as the interrogating radiation. A DTF-IV calculation was used to correct the data for the contributions due to other fissionable isotopes. The nondestructive measurement agreed to within 1.5% with the 235U content as predicted by reactor burnup calculations.
