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.

Two nondestructive assay systems, the MEGAS and the Pancake Counter, for the measurement of transuranic contaminated solid wastes at 10-nCi/g activity levels, have been developed. These are Nal-based detection systems to be used specifically for low-density solid transuranic wastes. They are of value in effective implementation of new federal regulations pertaining to transuranic waste management in that they supplement the usual administrative decision making in waste handling.
