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 world model to estimate the energy fraction supplied by nuclear power was developed. The world was divided into ten local regions, within each of which the interactions between economy, society, and technology were considered. Inter-regional interactions taking place through the markets of food and energies and through economic aids were also considered along with the interaction with global environment. Both the relational forms between global variables and the values of various coefficients were determined by the use of available data bases. The time-dependent factors for the policies to be taken and for the technological development in the future were introduced. Some example calculations are given.
