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.

The analysis of neutron spectra emitted from a 14-MeV source and streaming through a void steel duct embedded in concrete is carried out using a multigroup Monte Carlo code on a small computer. The calculated results are compared with experimental results and with other calculational analyses involving continuous energy Monte Carlo methods. The computational methods agree when the Pn expansion of the multigroup method is sufficiently extended. Some discrepancies with the experimental results, found in earlier analyses, still remain; and these are investigated with regard to the use of a new modification of the evaluated iron data, the spreading of the calculated results for comparison with experimental spectra, and various other modeling details.
