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 results of an experiment to measure the 12C(n,n′)3α reaction in nuclear emulsions up to 35 MeV were reanalyzed, with various corrections made using a previously validated nuclear reaction model. Corrections of up to 27% to the published data were obtained, and the corrected results, suggested as an evaluated set of cross sections, are in agreement with low-energy time-of-flight data and also with the predictions of the nuclear reaction model. Corresponding experimental data at 50 MeV also exist; however, they are considered unreliable and calculated data are recommended above 35 MeV.
