The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Nuclear Energy and the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) have announced the first four developers selected for the freshly launched Nuclear Energy Launch Pad.
The Nuclear Energy Launch Pad offers support for developers wanting to demonstrate advanced nuclear energy technologies and accelerate commercial deployment.
It is a restructured initiative that succeeds the DOE’s Reactor Pilot Program and Fuel Line Pilot Program and broadens federal assistance towards advanced reactor deployment across a wider range of nuclear technologies.
The four initial participants are Deployable Energy, General Matter, NuCube Energy in partnership with Idaho State University, and Radiant Nuclear.
