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.

The SEISM Monte Carlo code, which is similar to the well-known TRIM code, is applied to plasma particles; Maxwellian energy and isotropic angle distribution is assumed for the plasma particles. The effects of plasma and monoenergetic particle (deuterium) bombardment on a solid (nickel), i.e., sputtering, particle and energy reflection, implantation, etc., in the 0.1- to 10-keV energy and ion temperature range are compared. Also, the effect of the sheath potential at 100-eV ion temperature is investigated.
