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.

An overview is presented of the important RETRAN-related events that have occurred since the previous International RETRAN Conference, which was held in 1991. Summarized are the following: (a) an overview of the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI's) nuclear safety analysis activities, including the evolving integration of EPRI codes; (b) utilities using RETRAN-02 for licensing analyses and the current status of the RETRAN-3D design review and anticipated submittal to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; and (c) key features and capabilities of RETRAN-3D and new applications of either RETRAN-02 and/or RETRAN-3D.
