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.

A correlation technique has been developed to make the accuracy of complex and long-running resonance treatments available in fast, routine calculations. The technique is based on the subgroup method and is used to generate group-averaged resonance reaction rates. By fitting the correlation to several detailed auxiliary resonance calculations, a set of weights (the Lebesgue measure) is obtained. The weights can then be applied to a wider range of new cases. Use of the correlation technique results in one-tenth the computational burden of the detailed resonance treatment, yet the results duplicate the detailed calculations to within 0.01% in keff.
