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.

Beginning in 1984, the Three Mile Island Unit 2 Defueling Design Team requested Oak Ridge National Laboratory to supply criticality safety analyses in support of the licensing activities for all fuel removal operations. The computational methods and basic analytic models employed in the work are discussed, the areas where computational analyses were requested are reviewed, and the pertinent results are tabulated and discussed.
