$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.

Isotopic data obtained from the destructive analysis of UO2-6.6 wt% PuO2 rods irradiated in Core II of the Saxton reactor have been used to derive ratios of effective cross sections. Two sets of cross-section ratios, corresponding to data from regions of the core with different neutron spectra, have been developed. Selected cross-section ratios from the Saxton data were compared with those obtained from other reactors.
