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.

Experiments of H2-HT isotope separation were carried out with a hot wire column of 3 cm in diameter and 1.5 m in length. Separation factors were measured with cut changed from 0.1 to 0.9, and other operational conditions; pressure, feed rate and temperature difference, fixed. First, the feed rate was altered under the constant pressure, and next, pressure was changed. Experimental results were compared with those from an axisymmetric separative analysis, based on a Newton iterative solution of a convection-diffusion equation. Pressure dependence of separation factors agreeed qualitatively with those from theory. The separative power has a maximum value at 0.12 ∼ 0.16 MPa, when the feed rate was under 100 cm3/m(at 0.1 MPa, 25°C).
