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.

A recently developed technology for the consolidation and fabrication of high-quality small-diameter (< 5 mm) thin-wall (< 0.55 mm) tubing of 20wt%Ti-V alloy is described. Compacted vanadium chip and titanium sponge feed rods are electron-beam melted, followed by arc melting of the electron-beam ingot. The arc-cast ingot breakdown is by extrusion. Tube blanks are produced by a secondary extrusion operation. The tube blanks are cold finished by swaging and drawing to the final tube size with intermediate vacuum anneals as required. Problems and solutions are discussed.
