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.

Critical experiments that used high-concentration mixed-oxide (MOX) fuels in boiling water reactor lattice configurations and that were performed in the VENUS International Program are analyzed with CASMO-4 (C-4) /SIMULATE-3 (S-3). Both heterogeneous full-core transport calculations by C-4 and nodal diffusion calculations by S-3 with single-bundle CASMO-4 constants are performed, and the obtained results, such as eigenvalues and pin power distributions, are compared against the measured results. The agreement between the calculations and the measurements is quite satisfactory, and a good predictive capability of C-4 and S-3 for MOX fuels is verified.
