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 program and procedure are described which were developed to analyze the affect of anticipated TFTR operating faults when the machine was to be used in an operating mode which was higher than design current rating of the poloidal coil system. The design criteria for this program included the definition of the most pessimistic operating fault scenarios, the development of an analogue program to model and observe the time history of the event and several comparison programs used to tally the maximum force condition of each coil during the run and to compare and tally the maximum coil currents, forces and ΔI2t stresses from several runs.
