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 Citizens’ Workshops on Energy and the Environment program was designed to heighten citizen awareness of the many dimensions of the energy problem. It involved the development of a novel educational device—the Energy-Environment Simulator—and appropriate visual materials for a general audience. The workshops have been presented more than 1500 times and in virtually every state of the union.
