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.

Palladium and its alloys have been extensively studied because of their faculty to store reversibly hydrogen isotopes. Here, aging effects on pressure-composition isotherms of Pd(PtRh) solid solutions are investigated for tritium storage up to 5 years. The main changes observed are the decrease of the plateau pressures and the shift of the and branches towards greater stoichiometries, as it was already observed for pure palladium. In this study, we show that aging effects are greater on palladium substituted by platinum and/or rhodium than for pure palladium. These observations can be correlated to different evolutions of the structural and micro-structural properties of the solid solutions.
