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.

Neutron scattering cross sections were measured for 14N and 9Be at incident neutron energies of 11, 14, and 17 MeV using time-of-flight methods. Angular distributions for 14N and 9Be elastic scattering and 9Be inelastic scattering to the 2.429-MeV excited state were obtained between 20 and 160 deg in 5-deg increments. The data were corrected for finite geometry effects using a Monte Carlo simulation code. Legendre polynomial coefficients deduced by fitting the experimental data are tabulated. The results of a spherical optical model analysis for the 14N data are reported. Coulomb correction terms are obtained from a comparison of neutron and proton elastic scattering data for 14N.
