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.

Generalized bias operators (GBOs) can be derived from the differences in the calculations of a nuclear system by two methods. One method is accurate and expensive and the other one is less accurate and less expensive. These GBOs serve to improve the accuracy of the less accurate methods for systems similar to the original one. Two applications are discussed. In the first application, diffusion-type calculations with GBOs give transport calculations quality results. In the second application, one-dimensional calculations with GBOs replace two-dimensional calculations. The method is applied for calculating the Zion-2 core.
