Second round of Launch Pad selections includes eight newcomers
The National Reactor Innovation Center at Idaho National Laboratory has announced 13 project selections across 12 companies for the Nuclear Energy Launch Pad, a Department of Energy–led program that integrates reactor and fuel facility authorization, testing, and deployment support for private nuclear developers.
The Launch Pad emerged from the Reactor Pilot Program and Fuel Line Pilot Program.
According to INL, projects selected include reactor development and nuclear fuel cycle advancements, including fabrication, enrichment, and conversion technologies.

We developed a high precision ionization chamber MALIC. It is an integral type ionization chamber which has a magnetically levitated electrode without being supported by insulation materials. Furthermore, the electric potential of that electrode can be read without physical contact, so that the contact noise does not occur. With MALIC, we attempted to measure the radiation dose from tritium vapor of a room air in an accelerator facility.
