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.

The ion temperature, rotation velocity, and impurity density can be obtained from CHarge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CHERS) diagnostics, one of active beam diagnostics, using NBI or DNB.We measure the charge exchange emission line of the carbon using CHERS and DNB system and analyze the ion temperature from the emission line in the RF heated HANBIT plasma. DNB system which has 27 kV beam voltage and 50 msec pulse width must be controlled critically to measure the exact ion temperature in the experiments.End loss ion temperature measured using energy analyzer is compared with the ion temperature obtained from the charge exchange emission line. The CHERS diagnostics has been widely used to measure ion temperature and poloidal rotation velocity in tokamak.
