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.

This paper describes the design status of the ITER tritium plant. The key processing requirements and basis for process selection are summarized. Status of the remaining R&D efforts and selection of the process for impurity detritiation are also given. Evaluation studies for preliminary tritium plant processes were completed during the ITER Conceptual Design Activities (CDA) phase with an emphasis towards use of existing technology and proven industrial applications, where available [1]. Design of systems has continued during the Engineering Design Activities (EDA) phase. Layout designs are now available of most subsystems.
