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.

Results obtained in more than 100 electrolysis experiments of D2O with palladium and titanium cathodes, characterized by continuous high-efficiency neutron monitoring, are reported. In two runs with palladium cathodes, anomalous counts were observed that could not be rejected as evident spurious signals. In one of the two runs, anomalous counts were simultaneous with deformation of the palladium cathode. The two events are reported as candidate events of neutron emission. Moreover, in 2 (of 30) experiments with pulsed current, a statistically significant difference between counts in the charging and in the relaxation phases was observed. Some tritium measurements in the electrolyte solution were carried out, with no evidence of tritium contamination over the natural content. Analyses of the gases from the cathodes revealed the presence of species with masses of five and six, which could be attributed to DDH and D3 molecules.
