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.

Neutron spectra have been measured by the time-of-flight method from 1 eV to 2 keV at various positions across depleted uranium and borated polyethylene in slab geometry with an energy resolution of 0.9% at 6.68 eV. The observed behavior around the 6.68-eV resonance in 238U has been compared with the predictions of the transport theory code 1DF in S4 and S6 approximations using different quadratures and spatial representations. The space-averaged flux has been calculated with the slowing down code GAROL. The 1DF calculations agree reasonably well with experiment and the GAROL values.
