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.

Reactivity feedback is an important indicator in the analysis of the dynamic behavior of a nuclear reactor. The roddrop perturbation method is used at EBR-II to produce time-dependent power data which are pro cessed with an on-line digital data reduction procedure to produce time-dependent reactivity feedback; reactivity feedback models are defined in the time and frequency domains. This streamlined procedure has resulted in decreased data reduction time and man power requirements along with increased data integrity.
