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 investigate the effect of nozzle on the particle transport in the SMBI experiments for optimization of fueling in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. The diffusion particle during SMBI was evaluated from the emission intensity captured by the fast camera. Compared with the results without nozzle, the particle diffusion was more convergent in the case using the straight nozzle. Simulation results by using Monte-Carlo simulation code (DEGAS) roughly reproduce the 2-D image captured by the fast camera.
