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 safety analysis for the design of the IFMIF accelerator facility is an ongoing task within the IFMIF project, and the radioprotection analysis is one of the main sections of this task. The high energy beam transport line is a very sensitive section since it contains intense radiation sources. This work presents the radiological analysis of its current layout, and the design of local radiation shields, in order to meet project dose limits. These limits are established to protect workers in neighboring rooms during operation and to ensure unrestricted access for maintenance operations.
