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 previously reported work on the spherical harmonics treatment of epithermal-neutron spectra in reactor lattices is further extended and improved. The condensed matrix representation is introduced for the space- and lethargy-dependent vector of the spherical harmonics flux moments. Detailed recurrence relations for the factors resulting from numerical integration of the lethargy transfer integrals, in both the fast and the resonance regions, are provided. For solving systems of interface and boundary condition equations in the space variable, a procedure based on the coefficient matrix partitioning is presented.
