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.

Tritium release behavior through structural material in the presence of molten lithium-lead alloy (Li17Pb83) was studied in TREXMAN program. Tritium permeation ratio to the secondary carrier gas line depends strongly upon H2 pressure in He sweep gas of the primary and the secondary carrier gas lines. It increased with increasing H2 pressure below 104 Pa and above the value it became constant. An analytical model was applied to the experimental data on the tritium release to obtain the mass transfer coefficient.
