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.

An upwind numerical method for a six equation two-fluid model is presented based on a linearized Riemann solver. The construction of this approximate Riemann solver uses an extension of Roe’s method that has been successfully used to solve gas dynamics equations in aerodynamics problems. As far as the two-fluid model is hyperbolic, this numerical method seems very efficient for the numerical solution of two-phase flow problems. In practice, this new numerical method has proved to be stable on nonstaggered grids and capable of generating accurate nonoscillating solutions for two-phase flow calculations. The scheme was applied both to shock tube problems and to standard tests for two-fluid codes.
