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 facility dedicated to full tritium recovery from carbon flakes and dust generated in the JET fusion reactor during operation with tritium plasma has been designed and is being constructed at the JET Active Gas Handling plant. This facility will also be used for the study of a correlation between the tritium inventory in carbon flakes/dust and tiles exposed to tritium plasma and the rate of tritium out-gassing from them.
