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 deposition of suspended iron oxide in water at a 10-atm pressure during nucleate boilings on a Zircaloy heated surface has been studied. The effects of pressure on the deposition rate during the initial period have been investigated. The previously proposed iron oxide deposition model, based on the microlayer evaporation and dryout phenomena that occur in the nucleate boiling bubble at atmospheric pressure, is extended to high-pressure nucleate boiling conditions. The model is shown to be applicable for high-pressure studies.
