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.

Starting from the Fermi-Dirac distribution fuunction, Kinetic Theory prescriptions are applied to express number density and pressure as integrals, which are then solved for nonvanishing temperature. The results are then combined to arrive at an equation of state, given in closed form, yielding pressure as a function of number density.
