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 new technique has been employed to generate Legendre components of group-to-group neutron scattering cross-section matrices for two-body interactions. This semianalytic procedure, which treats the rapidly fluctuating cross-section behavior analytically, has been incorporated in the MINX processor, a code for the Multigroup Interpretation of Nuclear X-sections. The algorithm requires only a minimum of numerical approximations and uses recursive formulas well suited to performing the required integrations. A flexible energy integration mesh is employed so that localized resonance phenomena may be adequately represented.
