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.

Radiochemical reactions between tritium and carbon dioxide molecules at elevated temperatures have been investigated. There is no significant temperature dependence of the radiochemical reactions in the temperature range from 373 to 573 K. It has been found that concentration of such reaction products as tritiated methane and carbon monoxide molecules increases with time, whereas the concentration of tritiated water molecules remains practically constant. Additionally, influence of -ray radiation on radiochemical reactions in H2 and CO2 gas mixture was examined. Water and methane molecules are formed as radiation products, however, carbon monoxide is not detectable.
