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 transient velocity difference model called the dynamic slip model has been integrated into the FLASH-4 numerical scheme. The numerical scheme resulting from combining this model with the general purpose RELAP4 network computer code is described. The result is a code that calculates slip in all junctions both vertical and horizontal. Results of computations are compared to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission standard problems 1 and 6.
