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.

This technical note presents progress of a standard developed under the frame of the working group dealing with confinement, ventilation and shielding issues. The current standard ISO 17873 was created for nuclear facility application for which tritium does not represent the main source term. In order to guide guidance to the designers, two criteria based on contamination source term are proposed to classify systems dealing with aerosols or gaseous issues, and technologies in this field are outlined.
