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 emission probabilities of delayed neutrons are reevaluated on the basis of recently determined fission yields. The accuracy of the probabilities for thermal and fast fission of 233U and 235U is examined by summation of the individual delayed-neutron yields of the precursors and by comparison with the unseparated group and directly measured total delayed-neutron yields. The good agreement of the results obtained by the two independent methods indicates that the derived probabilities are accurate enough for the calculation of delayed-neutr on yields for other fissioning systems and for reactor calculations.
