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 diffusion and adsorption parameter values of tritium in palladium-silver cathodic membranes used to produce pure tritium gas and its isotopes from highly concentrated tritiated water are determined. It is shown that permeation increases with applied cathodic potential, temperature, and the presence of a palladium black deposit on the cathodic entry surface. The diffusion coefficient, tritium concentration in the alloy, and the diffusion layer thickness depend on temperature. The presence of a palladium black deposit on the palladium-silver membrane improves the adsorption of tritium.
