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.

The standard GAMMA 10 configuration is characterized by high ellipticity of the anchor fans, where the thickness of plasma is 2.5cm only. Thin anchor fans are probable places of fast radial transport. Possible way to check this assumption is to diminish the ellipticity. This task is complicated by several requirements to magnetic configuration: symmetrization of magnetic field, MHD stability, ensuring of proper conditions for ICRH and ECRH.
In the paper the calculations of GAMMA 10 magnetic field and MHD stability are presented. As a result of calculations the range of currents suitable for stable symmetrized configurations with low ellipticity was determined.
