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 equation for the total charge available for release from unit length of an emitter undergoing betaparticle decay in a self-powered neutron detector is derived. This derivation is based on a calculational model of the current response of a self-powered neutron detector developed by us earlier. The charge available from a Babcock & Wilcox standard rhodium in-core detector calculated by this equation compares favorably with the experimentally observed value.
