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 Iarge-aspect-ratio(LAR), midsize, diverted tokamak KT-2 with intense RF heating(5–7 MW) is under conceptual design process at KAERI. The machine parameters are: R/a(m) = 1.4/0.25 (reduceable to 0.20), Bt = 3 Tesla, Ip = 500+ kA, current flat-top 4.5 sec at maximum field and current (OH-only). The PF system concept design resulted in five KT-2 operation modes, and allows extended discharges for >30sec at 2T/200kA in the “5MW HiBS” mode. Construction will start in 1995, and the machine will start operation in 1998.
