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.

This collection of practical suggestions should prove useful to workers at tritium installations where gloveboxes and cleanup systems are used, or where upgrades to such systems are anticipated. These tips are effective approaches to meeting today's stringent containment requirements, and include many applications and extensions of accepted tritium practice, plus a few innovations of our own. The subjects covered are tritium piping systems, glovebox operations, personnel protection, tritium monitoring, and contamination control. Some specific problems arising out of recent experience are also discussed, along with some tentative solutions.
