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.

Classical diffusion across magnetic fields driven by density gradients in hot plasmas is a problem that has been considered by many authors because of its application to many areas in plasma physics. In most cases, however, only particle diffusion in one-temperature plasmas has been considered. Even when the interacting species are allowed to have unequal temperatures, the energy diffusion resulting from the density gradients is not calculated. There are disagreements among existing results, even in the case of single-temperature particle diffusion. Expressions for classical particle and energy diffusion across magnetic fields for multitemperature plasmas are derived from basic principles. The results are then compared with those most often quoted in the literature.
