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.

Using voltage biasing to ten concentric rings, profiles of plasma density and high azimuthal rotation velocity in a supersonic regime were controlled under three magnetic field configurations in a cylindrical magnetized RF produced plasma. Low frequency (< 4 kHz) density oscillation was identified as a drift wave type: propagation in the electron diamagnetic direction, which is opposite to the edge plasma rotation.
