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 sections have been measured and resonance parameters determined for 243Cm, 245 Cm, and 246Cm from 0.01 to 30 eV and for 244Cm up to 90 eV. A total thermal neutron cross section at 0.0253 eV was determined for 244Cm of 23 ± 3 b and 2900 ± 450 b for 245Cm. Resonance absorption integrals of 2345 ± 470 b for 243Cm, 605 ± 40 b for 244Cm and 897 ± 180 b for 245Cm were calculated from the resonance parameters.
