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.

Several models describing neutral particle transport through a binary stochastic background mixture are numerically compared. The test problem is one-group, time-independent transport with isotropic scattering in a source-free rod. The mixing statistics of the rod are taken as homogeneous and Markovian. Ensemble-averaged reflection and transmission probabilities as predicted by seven approximate models are compared with exact benchmark results that are available in the literature. Scalar flux plots that compare these seven models at interior rod locations are also given.
