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.

Progress Toward the Compact Ignition Tokamak | doi.org/10.13182/FST89-A39735
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Two-dimensional calculations of the prompt radiation responses in the 1.75 m Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT) have been carried out with a discrete ordinates model using the DOT 5.1 code. Of primary interest in the calculations was the nuclear heating rates in major tokamak structures such as the first wall, vacuum vessel and TF coils, which are required for the thermal and structural analyses. Comparisons were made with the results obtained with one-dimensional discrete ordinates models. Efforts were made to arrive at a simple algorithm that will provide the approximate two-dimensional distributions without the need to run a multi-dimensional model.
