DOE selects first companies for nuclear launch pad
The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy and the National Reactor Innovation Center have announced their first selections for the Nuclear Energy Launch Pad: three companies developing microreactors and one developing fuel supply.
The four companies—Deployable Energy, General Matter, NuCube Energy, and Radiant Industries—were selected from the initial pool of Reactor Pilot Program and Fuel Line Pilot Program applicants, the two precursor programs to the launch pad.

Virtual
A workshop Sponsored by the Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee and the U.S. Women in Nuclear
Come join the gamified, in-person workshop, Thursday December 2 at 7:00 pm, centered around emotional intelligence in the workplace: Nuclear Family Feud! Similar to the popular game show, the Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee in collaboration with U.S. Women in Nuclear have gathered a number of fun and thought provoking questions and polled the ANS community. See how well you know our nuclear family with questions ranging from “What’s the best isotope” to “What’s the most common reason people leave nuclear.” No need to come with a team prepared- we will team everyone at the workshop! This is a virtual version of the in-person event on Wednesday.
Survey says… we need your help! In preparation for Nuclear Family Feud, we need your help in providing responses on a wide range of topics from the color of electrons to workplace conflict. Then, tune in on Wednesday, December 1 (onsite), or Thursday, December 2 (virtual), where players will earn points based on your responses. Please provide your anonymous input by participating in this brief survey, whether you are planning to attend the Winter Meeting or not. Registration for Thursday’s virtual game is open to everyone. Survey participants can choose to enter a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card. Survey closes November 26.
