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.

A simple method of predicting the tritium concentration in air leaving an atmospheric-detritiation dryer (ADD) was developed and compared to experimental data. The prediction method was developed for use with closed-loop regenerated, thermal-swing dryers by extending the constant-pattern method for analyzing desiccant dehumidifiers. Tests were carried out at tritium activities up to 3 500 GBq/kg. For ADDs filled with commercial, zeolite desiccants, it was found that the prediction method provided a reasonable worst-case estimate of the tritium concentration (Bq/m3) exiting a dryer during adsorption.
