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 Tritium Plant design for the ITER Engineering Design Activity (EDA) phase is based on the results of almost 20 years of development effort in support of tritium processing and handling as part of the fusion energy program. During this period there have been many evaluations, investigations, and proposals for tritium processing. This paper presents an overview of the planned design for Torus Exhaust Processing and Hydrogen Storage Systems, including plant layout, and equipment arrangements. Process selection and system design are based on using proven technologies, where available, with emphasis on safety, practical application, reliability, and minimization of tritium inventory. The basis for selection of permeation, instead of the Conceptual Design [1] cryogenic sorption, for initial separation of hydrogen from impurities is highlighted. The importance of continuing and future development activities, including demonstration of the integrated exhaust processing system is also presented.
