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.

Two schemes are proposed in which solutions to the three-dimensional transport equation can be synthesized from two-dimensional transport solutions. Derivations are presented which employ a weighted residual technique applied to the second order (even parity in the direction vector Ω) form of the transport equation. Numerical testing indicates that for problems in which transport effects are restricted to the trial function planes, where synthesis axis leakage can be described by diffusion theory, the transport synthesis schemes perform very well.
