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.

Preliminary characterizations on Li isotope separation with Li ionic conductors were carried out. Three types of Li ionic conductors, which were a spinel Li4Ti5O12, a perovskite La0.55Li0.35TiO3 and a ramsdellite Li2Ti3O7 from the Li2O-TiO2 system, were selected. Electric conductivity and Li isotope separation efficiency were measured for each of the Li ionic conductors. It was shown from the results that each Li ionic conductor has sufficient electric conductivity and high Li isotope separation efficiency. Li isotope separation factors of three of the Li ionic conductors compare with that of the amalgamation process with mercury.
