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 eigensolutions of the multigroup neutron transport equation for the isotropic scattering medium in plane geometry are found by developing Case's method. The solution of the adjoint equation is also given in an explicit form. The completeness of the eigensolutions is proved by using the orthogonality relation to the adjoint solution. The degeneracy for the continuous eigenvalue is expressed in two ways: the unit vector system and the eigenvector system. In the latter case the orthogonality is formed, and the eigenvector system is thought of as a proper normal mode. As an application of this method, the infinite medium Green's function is constructed.
