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.

As part of the Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) Facility upgrade at the DIII–D National Fusion Facility, a regulated AC power supply for the filaments of a 110 GHz Gyrotron was designed, tested and integrated into the new ECH power system.1 A precision regulated filament power supply is essential for maintaining the stability of the cathode temperature and consequentially the gyrotron beam current and rf production.2 This paper provides a description of the design of the filament power supply, presentation of test results, and an assessment of its performance.
