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.

Reliable measurement of Tritium for regulatory and radiological protection purposes requires the design of samplers which are simple to operate and easy to maintain and check during operation. Where measurements of Tritium in only the oxide form suffice, passive (diffusion tube type) samplers are very effective, requiring no moving parts or power supplies for their operation. Where separate measurement of Tritium in the oxide (HTO) and elemental form (HT) is required dynamic samplers, involving pumped gas systems, are generally necessary. Designs of both type of sampler, commissioned by JET, are described and the results of one year's operation, for environmental applications, are presented and discussed.
