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.

Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating by injection of two microwave beams with different k// has been investigated in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. In experiments, measurements of an effective temperature of an end loss electron flux and an end plate potential indicate that, for the same total incident power, heating efficiency of two beam heating is a little worse than that for one beam heating. Numerical analysis of electron energy gain by two beam ECRH gives the result of a little worse heating efficiency agreeing with that of the measurements, and the result is able to be explained as spatially sequential heating due to Doppler-shifted resonance gap for two beam heating.
