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 behavior of ions confined by means of quadrupolar electrodynamic containment around palladium lattice tetrahedral sites is discussed. Ion confinement in a quadrupolar trap is known to be strongly influenced by initial conditions and trap parameters. The system studied is a lattice ion trap for deuterons, supposing they occupy the tetrahedral sites over a certain concentration. The electron motions seem to have a dominant role in the dynamics of two deuterons moving around such lattice sites. A computer simulation describes the deuteron dynamics and reveals an approach mechanism that could dramatically decrease the mean distance between two positive charges embedded in a lattice.
