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 total neutron cross section of 233U was measured between 40 keV and 4.5 MeV. “Monoenergetic” neutrons were used over the total energy range with the time-of-flight (TOF) technique employed for background suppression. At lower energies (<200 keV), pseudo-white spectra TOF techniques were also used. Present results are up to 10% higher than previous measurements between 40 and 500 keV, and a similar difference exists relative to the evaluated nuclear data file ENDF/B-IV.
