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.

Theoretical evaluations of neutral beam injection (NBI) efficiency for the TJ-II helical-axis stellarator have been done for several expected scenarios using the FASOLT code, an adaptation of the FAFNER three-dimensional NBI Monte Carlo code to the peculiar geometry, vacuum vessel, and helical indented magnetic surfaces of TJ-II. The code is used in combination with another one-dimensional flux coordinates transport code (PLASMATOR). Results for 1-MW injected power, comparing coinjection and counterinjection, as well as 2- and 4-MW balanced injection, are discussed with emphasis on fast ion losses and wall loads. Some preliminary results, including radial electric field effects, are also presented.
