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.

Steady state permeation behavior of deuterium implanted into oxide free copper (50 µm thickness, 99.99% purity) and F82H (0.2 mm thickness) was investigated. The rate limiting process of the permeation through copper was determined from the results of the numerical analysis by TMAP code. Based on the numerical analysis, recombination coefficient and diffusion coefficient in the implantation region were derived, and implantation effects on the diffusion coefficient in the implantation region were also discussed. In the F82H experiment, strong effect of low energy deuterium implantation on the deuterium transport in the implantation region was observed.
