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 general systematic method to reduce multiregion problems in plane geometry to regular integral equations for the coefficients of singular-eigenfunction expansions is proposed. The method is based on the half-range orthogonality relations of the eigenfunctions and is applicable in two-groups as well as one-group theory. The method is used to solve two problems in one-group theory for isotropic scattering: the Milne problem for a half-space bounded by a slab of dissimilar medium and a problem of neutron transmission through two slabs. Numerical results are reported for several sets of parameters.
