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 flow equilibrium problem with prescribed adiabatic constraints may be solved by simultaneous calculations of flux surface geometry and original profile functions. A numerical technique, alternative to Grad's well-known ADM method has been proposed to deal with the slow adiabatic evolution of a toroidal plasma with flows. In the case of field-aligned sub-Alfvénic flow the system is in the second elliptic regime if β < A2/(1 – A2) at the magnetic axis, where A is the Mach Alfvén number of the flow.
