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.

It is well recognized that a wide program for testing mechanical, electrical, and other properties of construction materials irradiated by high power 14 MeV neutron fluxes so as the program for creation of low activated new materials should be urgently arranged to accumulate required information concerning materials for DEMO design. In the review paper presented different approaches to the problem of creation of high power 14 MeV neutron source are discussed.
