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.

An optical model potential for neutron-antimony isotopes collision systems is obtained at the incident energies up to 200 MeV. Cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra and double differential cross sections for neutron-induced reactions on 121Sb, 123Sb and natural Sb are consistently calculated and analyzed at incident energies below 20 MeV by using theoretical nuclear models for nuclear energy applications. The calculated results are compared with experimental data and the evaluated data from CENDL-3 and JENDL-4.
