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.

Evaluation of cross-section data for various collision processes is now being made by many groups. But the results (i.e., recommended data) are often different from each other depending on who evaluates them. An evaluation (or validation) of the evaluated data is necessary. Three examples of the activity are shown here: (a) consistency check of the total scattering cross section, (b) calculation of the swarm parameters, and (c) chemical modeling. For the first two cases, a demonstration is performed with the use of the cross-section sets recommended for the electron collisions with N2 and O2 by the present author.
