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.

Gamma-ray transition probabilities intended for use in the preparation of gamma-ray production cross sections have been calculated for four odd-A nuclei and compared with experiment. Wave functions used in the calculation of M1 and E 2 transition matrix elements were generated with a deformed shell (Nilsson) model code which allows for asymmetric quadrupole deformations. Inverse moments of inertia and deformations were treated as adjustable parameters. The collective gyromagnetic ratio was assumed to be a constant for all levels. The results suggest in the context of the simplified model an angular momentum dependence of the nuclear deformation.
