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 self-consistent global discharge simulation code, which combines a global transport module and a radiofrequency (RF) wave heating module in a self-consistent manner, has been developed for the Hanbit-device discharge modeling. Global fluid equations of ions and electrons are solved with oxygen impurity recycling equations in the global transport module, while Maxwell-Boltzmann equations are solved by the mode analysis technique in the RF heating module. Using the code, the global transport dynamics of ions, electrons, neutrals, and oxygen impurities can be studied as a function of external parameters, in the self-consistent calculation of the RF power deposition into the plasma from a model antenna system. Here, a simulation study is presented for the reference operation mode of the Hanbit mirror device to predict its performance.
