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.

The relative energy dependence of the 235U fission cross section has been measured with respect to the (n, p) scattering reaction for neutron energies from 0.8 to 4 MeV. The Lawrence Livermore Laboratory Linac provided a pulsed source of neutrons, and energies were measured by neutron time of flight. The flux monitor consisted of a thin annular polyethylene proton radiator with a shielded recoil detector. The total error in the relative 235U (n, f) cross section is <1.5% from 0.8 to 4 MeV.
