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 exchange of CH4 in tritium has been measured at concentrations of 1.45 and3.00 mol% to display the time evolution of CT4. It is observed that the total methane concentration decreases with time, and no masses >24 amu are observed using mass spectroscopy. After 18 months, only 0.2% CT4 gas remained in the 3.00% CH4 experiment. These observations indicate that carbon is being removed from the gas phase. A model based on ion/molecule interactions is presented to explain the formation of CT4 and free carbon.
