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 carbon-carbon composite brazed with OFHC copper divertor structure has been irradiated by neutrons at 673K to 10 dpa. After the irradiation, microstructures and transmutation in the substrate and in the joint interface region were investigated by TEM. Void formation, which results in a degradation of brazed material, was prominent in interfaces (between C/C and a filler metal or between copper phase and silver-copper phase) and in OFHC copper substrate.
