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.

Resonance integrals for lattices of annular rod absorbers can be accurately determined by ordinary equivalence relation procedures. This is demonstrated for water lattices of annular uranium rods whose inner cylindrical zone is either a void or is water filled. The equivalence cross section, needed to enable the use of tabulated homogenous integrals, is given by a formula recently developed. There are three parameters in the formula that need estimation: a Dancoff factor for the lattice, the probability of neutrons entering the inner rod zone to collide there, and a Bell factor. Ways and means to estimate these parameters are discussed and demonstrated. The interpolation of resonance integrals from entries in existing tables of homogenous integrals is performed with an accurate technique. Results of the equivalence-based calculations are compared with results by the integral transport RABBLE code.
