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.

The nitrous oxide dosimeter will measure the absorbed dose in a mixed radiation field of gamma rays and thermal neutrons. The effect of the latter is due to the 14N(n,p)14C reaction (cross section 1.78 b). However, 15N2O has an extremely small cross section for thermal neutrons (0.02 mb) and thus measures only the gamma dose. Our studies using 14N2O - 15N2O mixtures show that 14N2O and 15N20 dosimeters can discriminate between ionizing radiation and thermal-neutron effects.
