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.

Hydrogen absorption-desorption properties of some uranium-rich alloys were studied to develop an advanced material for temporary tritium storage. The characteristics of U-33.3at%Zr were analogous to those of U-69.7at%Zr, while the durability to powdering was reduced according to a decrease of zirconium content. The U-5.7at%Al exhibited a similar behavior to that of pure uranium including powdering to much extent, though a slight decrease in decomposition pressure was observed. The U-25at%Si showed very small capacity of hydrogen in spite of the existence of uranium phase in this alloy.
