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.

Radial particle transport in GAMMA 10 was investigated under a quasi-steady state condition plasma. The transport analysis was carried out with changing the boundary conditions, in order to reconstruct the density profile which is consistent with the measured data. From the above result, the best fit profile to the measured one was obtained with the diffusivity of 0.57 m2/s. The particle diffusivity in an additional gas puffing experiment was estimated. The result of the transport analysis was also compared with the diffusion coefficient expected from classical diffusion processes.
