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.

Fully 3-dimensional model for Monte-Carlo simulation code (DEGAS) was newly applied in the GAMMA 10 central cell. Based on the measurement and DEGAS simulation, neutral transport during the gas puffing and neutral beam injection (NBI) in the central cell is investigated. The predicted H profile using DEGAS well explained the experimental result. It is clarified that the localized neutral source has much influence on the behavior of neutral particles in the plasma. In this paper, detailed discussion is shown from the view point of both the experiment and the simulation.
