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 differential cross sections for the production of gamma radiation from fast-neutron inelastic scattering have been measured at incident neutron energies from 4.00 to 7.67 MeV for Be, C, O, Al, Si, Fe, Ni, Nb, W, and 239Pu. The gamma-ray spectra were measured with a NaI(Tl) spectrometer using time-of-flight techniques to eliminate the neutron background. The gamma-ray detector was surrounded with a large NaI(Tl) annulus operated in the anticoincidence mode. The resulting spectra were unfolded and appropriate corrections were applied for neutron and gamma-ray attenuation, for electronic dead time, and for detector efficiency.
