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.

At Savannah River, 244Cm is being produced from 239Pu in reactor irradiations designed for successive neutron captures. A separations process, which has been successfully piloted, isolates curium from intermediates (plutonium isotopes and 243Am) and fission products. The 2.65 W of heat generated per gram of curium in the product can be used in isotopic power sources.
