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 computer code that integrates the ray equations for the cold plasma dispersion relation in an inhomogeneous medium is developed. This algorithm is applied to two cases of interest in radio-frequency heating and current drive, namely, the lower hybrid spectrum (1.0 to 2.5 GHz) and the electron cyclotron resonance spectrum (30 to 300 GHz). The geometry studied is the compact torus fusion device. Traces of the propagation of lower hybrid waves and electron cyclotron heating frequency waves are shown.
