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.

Amorphous carbon and single crystal silicon collector probes were inserted into the bundle divertor of DITE on the electron drift side. Onto the carbon, 2.7×1016 atoms/cm2 antimony was evaporated and for silicon 5×1015 atoms/cm2, Sb+ implantation was carried out prior to the exposure to plasma. Thus these probes not only collected impurities but were able to provide information on the material loss as well. Using RBS analysis it turned out that the predominant species detected were carbon, oxygen and stainless steel components. Other impurities such as Ti, S, Cl, Mo, Cu and Pb were also found. Their radial distribution is reported. On evaporated probes an Sb loss with typical value of 3 to 5×1015 atoms/cm2 discharge was observed.
