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.

Bonding nature of hydrogen isotopes on the surface of Li2O has been studied with the CRYSTAL92, ab-initio Hartree-Fock calculation code for periodic systems. It was found that the exothermic dissociative adsorption of H2O molecule could occur on the relaxed surface. The adsorption energy for the most stable site was 0.438eV per one H2O. The nature of -OH on the surface of Li2O was also analyzed. Calculation results showed that the stretching vibration of O–H is affected by the chemical species around the -OH.
