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.

Dynamic nondestructive inspection of optically opaque systems can be accomplished using a dynamic radiography technique with thermal neutrons as the illuminating radiation. Dynamic radiography correlates the useful information in scattered radiation from vibrating objects. The information generally takes the form of three-dimensional frequency spectra profiles. Such data give the mechanical condition of objects. Thermal-neutron scattering from eccentrically rotating plastic pegs shows that single-point system correlation sensitivity can indicate the presence of pegs in. in diameter. Pulsed polyethylene cube experiments emphasize the effects of object nonrigidity on correlation to show how sensitive dynamic-neutron radiography is to changes in the mechanical quality of nonrigid hydrogenous materials.
