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.

A simple method for the determination of the energetic parameters of the T(d,n)4He neutron beam from a solid titanium-tritium target is described. The energetic parameters under consideration are: the value of the neutron energy, the neutron energy spread in the beam, the mean deuteron interacting energy, and/or the mean deuteron energy loss in the target. The proposed method is based on an accurate measurement of the energy and the full-width at half-maximum of the T(d,n)4He neutron beam. The measurements are made at the angle under consideration and at 95 deg as a reference angle of the neutron direction relative to the deuteron beam direction. The parameters are obtained by a comparison between the measured results at these two angles. The method does not require any additional measurement equipment other than the standard system used in fast neutron spectra measurements, i.e., a 2- × 2-in. NE-213 liquid scintillator in conjunction with the FORIST unfolding procedure to process the proton recoil spectra into energy spectra.
