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 experimental setup is put in operation designed to study the phenomenon of the superpermeation of hydrogen isotopes, including tritium, through metals and to demonstrate the possibility of membrane pumping. The permeation of atomic hydrogen through the niobium membrane was shown to occur in the superpermeation regime. For the first time superpermeation of tritium through a metallic membrane was experimentally observed. The possibility of effective pumping, compression and recuperation of hydrogen isotopes by means of superpermeable membrane was demonstrated.
