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.

An attempt was made to replicate electrochemical and gas-load cold fusion neutron counts. The best results for electrolysis were counts of 2.5 times background for 45 min. The cold fusion rate was found to be <2.09 × 10−22 fusion/(d-d)·s−1. For the gas-load method, an effect was seen twice, with neutron counts on the order of 3 to 4 times background over 1.5 h. The search for excess tritium in the heavy water from the electrolytic cells proved negative. However, mass spectroscopy of the D2 gas before and after the gas-load experiments indicated a change in the mass 3 to mass 2 ratio from 0.53 to 1.66.
