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.

At the Tritium Process Laboratory (TPL) in the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, an apparatus for the Fuel Cleanup Process was designed, fabricated and installed for the experiments with up to 1g of tritium. The function of the system is continuous processing of a simulated plasma exhaust and separation of hydrogen isotopes and impurity elements in it. Main components are, palladium diffusers, catalytic reactors, cold traps, an electrolysis cell and zirconium-cobalt beds. The apparatus was installed in a glovebox and tested with hydrogen by early 1988.
