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.

By using the two-dimensional rigorous numerical solution of flow and convection-diffusion equations, the H2-HT separative performances of 77 K “cryogenic-wall” thermal diffusion columns with 1,500 mm-fixed height and various radii of 1277 K hot and cold walls with feed rate being parametrically changed. Analyses revealed that the smaller radii columns are useful when feed flow rate is small while larger radii columns are useful when feed rate is large.
