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 H (or D, or T) Sievert's constant for liquid Sn-Li alloys is calculated from thermodynamic data issuing of the Sn-Li binary phase diagram analysis. The range of temperatures investigated is 600-873 K (Sn0.8Li0.2 m.p. ~ 599 K) to maintain single-phase binary melts. The thermodynamic functions of Li-H, Sn-H, Sn-Li are evaluated to derive those of Sn-Li-H. Thus, monotectic solubility data for Sn and Li is analyzed. The calculation is done for high-dilution conditions. A quasi-chemical regular solution model is used for temperature/composition extrapolations when no data is available. The tritium Sievert's constant in Sn0.8Li0.2 at 600 K is: 9.65 10-8 Pa-12, five times the Reiter's measured value for Pb-17Li and ~ 6 times the value in Pb-17Li eutectic obtained by using the same theoretical approach.
