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.

Neutral beams are injected into fusion devices through narrow transition ducts that are permeated by strong magnetic fields. As a result, the beam particles that undergo reionizing collisions with thermal gas molecules within the duct are deflected by the magnetic field onto the duct wall. This phenomena in conjunction with other related effects has been responsible for significant reduction in the amount of beam power reaching the plasma. This paper describes the development of a self-consistent beam transport model that was extensively used in the design of neutral beam injector system for the TDF central cell.
