DOE fast tracks test reactor projects: What to know
The Department of Energy today unveiled 10 companies racing to bring test reactors online by next year to meet Trump's deadline of next Independance Day, leveraging a new DOE pathway that allows reactor authorization outside national labs. As first outlined in one of the four executive orders on nuclear energy released by President Trump on May 23 and in the request for applications for the Reactor Pilot Program released June 18, the companies must use their own money and sites—and DOE authorization—to get reactors operating. What they won’t need is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license.

We developed a technique for producing nickel-chromium weld overlay claddings at increased metal deposition rates. Addition of supplemental filler metal in the form of atomized powder to the submerged arc surfacing process increases the total metal deposition rate in proportion to the amount of metal powder added. Deposit chemistry, micro structure, and integrity are similar to those produced by conventional, oscillated electrode submerged arc cladding operations.
