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.

A set of multigroup Legendre coefficients is derived that can be used to implement the diamond difference scheme for the continuous slowing down operator in standard (unmodified) Sn codes. Calculations are performed that demonstrate the validity of these coefficients, and the superior accuracy of the diamond difference scheme relative to the standard first-order multigroup method.
