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.

Time-of-flight measurements of the neutron angular flux spectrum in water have been made to provide a standard of comparison for neutron penetration calculations. The spectrum from 0.002 eV to 12 MeV was measured with an accuracy of ±10 to ±30% and a resolution of 5 to 15%, at angles from 0 to 90 deg and penetrations to 38 cm. Comparisons with discrete ordinates calculations using ENDF/B and GAM-II cross sections indicate fairly good agreement.
