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.

According to the experimental data of total, nonelastic scattering cross sections and elastic scattering angular distributions of tungsten and its isotopes, a set of neutron optical model potential parameters is obtained. All of the reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, -ray production cross sections, -ray production energy spectra, and the double-differential cross section for neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, helium, and alpha emission are calculated and analyzed for n + 180,182,183,184,186,natW at incident neutron energies from 0.1 to 250 MeV based on the nuclear model theory, which combines the optical model, the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory and exciton model, and the coupled channel theory. Theoretical calculations are compared with existing experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B6.8 and JENDL-3.3.
