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 direct detailed observations of temporally and spatially resolved plasma behavior of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) anchor stabilization for central-cell plasmas are carried out by the use of our newly developed semiconductor x-ray detector arrays installed in both central-cell and anchor regions of the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. In comparison to the previous reports, the present x-ray observations directly clarify an unsolved issue of the behavior of the internal core-plasma structure during the MHD destabilization experiments. The present x-ray analyses by the use of our proposed method with our developed matrix-type semiconductor detector are, therefore, characterized in terms of providing the direct detailed “visible” structural information on the interior core-plasma behavior during the period with the MHD instability, as well as showing the important role of the minimum-B inboard anchor in the MHD plasma stabilization in GAMMA 10.
