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 preliminary study on the direct-contact condensation in the ITER pressure suppression tank during the ICE event was performed experimentally and analytically. The water-vapor two phase flow behavior in the depressurized water tank was investigated by the flow visualization experiment and it was found that the present numerical approach is very effective to predict the condensation effect in the ITER suppression tank during the ICE event.
