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.

Brazing techniques for joining dissimilar materials considered for tube-to-armor joints of high-temperature graphite space radiators have been investigated. The combinations tested consisted of Cb-1Zr and type-316 stainless-steel alloys, each brazed with developmental alloys to Graphitite-G and an expanded form of pyrolytic graphite. Stability test results are reported for specimens brazed and aged 500 h at 1350°F (734°C) or thermally cycled 500 times between 350°F (177°C) and 1350°F under a pressure of 10−5 torr (max). Brazing and thermal stability tests indicated that compatible braze bonds can be made between the graphites and potential tube materials.
