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.

In the past few years, five separate studies have been undertaken at AECL's Chalk River Laboratories to determine the levels of tritium in the environment due to routine releases from an experimental heavy water reactor. Data from these studies are presented in terms of the ratios of the long-term average tritium concentrations in precipitation, soil and plants to the long-term average HTO concentration in air moisture. The data are used to assess the performance of models that predict long-term average tritium concentrations in the environment.
