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.

Values of the yield of delayed neutrons from fission previously reported by Masters, Thorpe, and Smith and by Krick and Evans have been reevaluated following refinement of earlier measurements and calibrations. Except for 238U, the values for fast fission are in agreement with earlier results of Keepin.
