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.

The Chebyshev Rational Approximation Method (CRAM) algorithm has become the method of choice for modern nuclear depletion calculations. A simple modification of the CRAM yields not only depleted nuclide amounts but also time-averaged nuclide amounts, with little additional calculation cost.
