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.

Carrier-free 132Cs and 129Cs were produced by the 129I(α,n)132Cs, 129I(α,4n)129Cs, and 127I(α,2n)129Cs reactions using thallous iodide as a recoverable target. Upper limits for the production yields of these isotopes are 25µC/(µA h) for 132Cs and 2 mC/(µA h) for 129Cs, for 35-MeV alpha particles.
