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 technique for applying neutron radiography to the examination of radioactive material is described. This method uses a pool reactor core as a neutron source and the water as a biological shield. Radioactive specimens examined include clad fuel rods up to 1.2-m in length and stainless steel capsules up to 2.9-cm diam and 60-cm long. Representative radiographs of both types are presented.
