$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.

It is well recognized that scattered neutrons cause serious image degradation in thermal-neutron radiography of hydrogenous objects. If these scattered neutrons are removed from the neutron beam before it strikes the image record-ing medium, both image contrast and resolution will be enhanced. A method of quantifying the contrast enhancement is illustrated with various antiscatter grid configurations.
