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.

The probability table method, developed for Monte Carlo calculations in the region of unresolved neutron resonances, is demonstrated to be of general use in neutron transport studies since the Boltzmann equation involved can be derived and solved by analogy to multigroup methods. Since the resulting equations can be cast into a form identical to that of the multigroup equations, they can be solved by existing multigroup transport codes. From a set of probability tables and spatially independent, unshielded, neutron cross sections, the method yields correct selfshielding effects, such as equivalent, spatially dependent, multigroup cross sections. Extension of the method and the use of probability tables outside the unresolved region are discussed.
