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.

A simple and convenient method is developed to account for the neutron resonance mismatches due to the composition dissimilitude in the vicinity of gross region interfaces. It is shown that the effective resonance cross sections near a region interface can be obtained from the table-look-up of a cross-section set. The numerical results obtained with the present method are shown to be in an excellent agreement with the exact calculations using a computer code.
