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.

Perturbation analysis of cross-section differences between the ENDF/B-III file and the KEDAK file helped identify those differences to which keff of large fast systems was sensitive. The interpretation of differences between independently evaluated files as inherent inaccuracies in current experimental data led to recommended requirements for experimental accuracy in 239Pu and 238U fission and capture cross sections.
