Launching into tomorrow: NRIC guides new era of research and deployment
In June 2025, the Department of Energy announced the Reactor Pilot Program, an authorization pathway that allowed reactor developers to partner with the DOE to get first-of-a-kind (FOAK) reactors built and tested. Soon after, the DOE rolled out a complementary Fuel Line Pilot Program, which aimed to fast-track fuel projects. In all, 20 projects were accepted into the new programs.

NuclearATC is a startup to serve the needs of the research and development community for materials, chemistry and instrumentation requiring in-situ conditions. Currently, we seek to provide LWR (Light Water Reactor) and Liquid Metal Reactor (LMR) services and are under agreement development with Penn State (anticipated 2026 Q3) to contract their reactor radiation services. NuclearATC's management has a 20-year relationship with PSU, 15 years at Constellation and engineering staff have worked with DOE on VTR. NuclearATC recently completed a DOE Office of Science SBIR-STTR Grant to develop conceptual designs for LWR testing and lower the cost to another resource.
NuclearATC is a veteran-owned business to serve the DoD, DOE, Industry and Academia.
