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.

Multi-component adsorption isotherm is determined experimentally when He, H2 (or D2) and CH4 are adsorbed on activated carbon (AC) plated on a cryopanel cooled at cryogenic temperature and desorbed at room one. It is correlated to the Langmuir-Freundlich-type one. The equilibrium isotherms for their respective single-component adsorption processes are correlated in terms of the Langmuir-Freundlich-type ones, and the isotherm when the three components of He, H2 and CH4 are adsorbed at the same time is correlated in terms of a naturally-extended multi-component one without any changes in the original constants included in the single-component one. Rates of the isotopic exchange reaction of D atom between CH4 and D2 on AC between 10 K and room temperature are also determined. After eliminating the effects of natural isotope of 13C included in CH3D, CH2D2, CHD3, CD4 on mass-spectrometric measurements, it was found that the isotopic exchange rate of CH4 + D2 = CH3D +HD and so on was found to be so late that any detectable effect was not observed.
