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.

All of the reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for the neutron-induced 46,47,49,50,nat.Ti reactions below 20 MeV. Concurrently, the present work uses the optical model; the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory; the exciton model, which includes the improved Iwamoto-Harada model; and the distorted wave Born approximation theory. Especially, the recoil effect is taken into account in the calculation to keep the energy balance of whole reaction processes. Theoretical calculations are compared with existing experimental data and other evaluated data in ENDF/B-VIII, JENDL-4, and JEFF-3 below 20 MeV. Our theoretical calculated results agree with the experimental data and give a better description than the other evaluations for all reactions.
