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.

Dynamics of light impurities at multimirror trap GOL-3 was studied using imaging spectroscopy diagnostics in VUV and visible spectral range. The results of impurity balance and transport simulation as well as comparison with measurements are presented in this paper. Concentration of impurities in plasma and diffusion coefficient are found out from the measurements. Suitability using VUV and XUV spectroscopy for measuring main plasma parameters is considered.
