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.

An analysis of the hydraulic entry-length problem in concentric annuli has been made by the linearized finite-difference method and the results are reported in this Note. Fifteen annuli of radii varying in ratio between 0.05 and 0.955 were investigated and typical radial velocity profiles at various axial distances from the annulus entrance are presented. A means for determining the pressure drop in the entry region is included. In the course of the study the developing axial profiles were observed to be in agreement with results in the literature.
