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.

Experimental results showed that Q2 gas was adsorbed effectively by CMSB on an early stage of breakthrough even though CH4 exists in the inlet gas. Particularly, in the case of Q2 with low concentration of CH4, the break through curve of Q2 showed almost the same curve as in the case of pure Q2 adsorption. However, CH4 gas spilled over adsorbed Q2 in the course of CH4 break-through. This means that the CMSB will eventually lose the ability to adsorb Q2 in the final stage of adsorption. The critical time when the CMSB loses the adsorption ability depends on the inlet CH4 concentration. Analysis of the results showed that the adsorption of Q2 and CH4 mixture can be roughly described by assuming the multi-component adsorption equations for Q2 and CH4 using Langmuir's equations. It was certified that the analysis model described and predicted the experimental observations very well.
