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.

Thermal analyses for the U.S. inboard and outboard shield and first wall of ITER have been performed utilizing the nuclear heating results obtained from the neutronics calculations. Several radial build configurations of the shield have been thermally analyzed. Different routes for the coolant are investigated to reduce the maximum temperature in shielding material which in turn reduces thermal expansion effects during ITER operation. The maximum thermal stresses are within the prescribed limits for the shield material at the maximum operating temperatures.
