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.

This paper presents a schematic design of Tritium Fuel Cycle for Muon-Catalyzed Intense Neutron Source (MC INS) capable of producing monochromatic 14 MeV neutrons. Based on the assumption that the fuel mixture should be used in a liquid phase the different approaches are proposed to incorporate a DT cell (synthesizer) into the MC INS facility The estimations of total tritium inventory in ihe MC INS facility are given. The calculations of the DT cell operation temperature regime using the code FLOW 3D are presented. It is shown the capability to remove the thermal energy released in the DT cell of the proposed design. The MC INS design is analyzed from the viewpoint of tritium safety requirements.
