The National Reactor Innovation Center is hosting a virtual Nuclear Energy Launch Pad Industry Day to inform interested program participants about the Launch Pad initiative, the scope and the associated Request for Applications (RFA).
About the Nuclear Energy Launch Pad Initiative
The Nuclear Energy Launch Pad initiative is designed to promote the rapid development of and implementation of advanced nuclear technologies by private industry. Building on the success of DOE’s Reactor Pilot Program established in June 2025, and the Fuel Line Pilot Program, launched in August 2025, the Launch Pad creates a robust innovation ecosystem to accelerate advanced nuclear technology deployment using flexible technical and regulatory frameworks on both federal and non-federal lands. The Launch Pad offers two pathways for nuclear developers: Launch Pad INL, located at the Idaho National Laboratory; and Launch Pad USA.
