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.

Analyses of an extensive series of reaction-rate measurements done recently in the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) runs 50G and 50H were performed with transport theory and diffusion theory codes using detailed representations of the loadings in XY, RZ, and XYZ geometry and broad-group cross sections derived from the ENDF/B-I and -III data files. It was found possible to predict the measured relative reaction rates quite accurately within the core region; however, there are substantial differences in the radial blanket and axial reflector regions. Analyses of the absolute reaction-rate measurements in EBR-II run 50H have provided additional evidence that the reactor operates ≅ 9% below the nominal power level of 62.5 MW(th). Differences were observed between the calculated reaction rates using the ENDF/B-I and -III data files for the stainless-steel/sodium axial reflector regions in the EBR-II
