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.

The equipment for measuring the low level gas release rate of tritiated wastes is designed to match the storage requirements for the preservation of the environment. The measuring method which has been developed by the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (C.E.A. ) at BRUYERES-LE-CHATEL centre is based on the use of an ionization chamber (or a bubbler for a higher sensitivity) with an associated tritiated waste containment system. USSI INGENIERIE has industrialized and adapted this technology to industrial purposes to the specific research requirement of the European Tritium Handling Experimental Laboratory (ETHEL) of the CEC located at ISPRA Site under a Feasibility study contract financed by CEC ISPRA. This unit is designed to enable R&D studies with regard to the release rate of tritiated wastes like those which will be generated by the Fusion reactors of the future. Such a unit is subsequently described with the equipment needed for its operation.
