DOE selects first companies for nuclear launch pad
The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy and the National Reactor Innovation Center have announced their first selections for the Nuclear Energy Launch Pad: three companies developing microreactors and one developing fuel supply.
The four companies—Deployable Energy, General Matter, NuCube Energy, and Radiant Industries—were selected from the initial pool of Reactor Pilot Program and Fuel Line Pilot Program applicants, the two precursor programs to the launch pad.

Comparison of many experimental methods and investigation of their systematic errors are indicated for the measurement of the ratio of the epicadmium 238U neutron capture rate to the subcadmium 238U capture rate in a slightly 235U-enriched (1.143%) fuel rod. An explanation of the discrepancy between theory and experiment is given.
