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.

Cross sections of the 58Ni(n,p)58Co, 51Co(n,p)59Fe, 51V(n,α)48Sc, and 59Co(n,2n)58Co reactions and isomer ratios for the 58Ni(n,p)58Co reaction were measured for some neutron energies between 9 and 14 MeV. Neutron spectrometry, with an NE-213 scintillation detector, of the beams from the D(d,n)3He reaction was used to evaluate the activation induced by breakup neutrons on natural nickel, cobalt, vanadium, and aluminum-monitor targets. The results are compared with earlier measurements and with theoretical calculations performed with the aid of the GNASH code (Hauser-Feschbach model including pre-equilibrium corrections).
