Launch Pad USA will build upon the successes of DOE’s pilot programs and continue to offer the ability to authorize the operation of nuclear reactors and fuel cycle facilities outside the national laboratories.  

Overall benefits:

  • Remote or project-specific access to specialized nuclear expertise at INL or other national laboratories, as needed.

  • Assistance in navigating the complexities of nuclear regulations for DOE authorization.

  • A flexible contract framework with DOE.

  • High flexibility to leverage unique regional or project-specific advantages.
