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 use of liquid sodium as a coolant in fast breeder reactors has created interest in corrosion processes and the chemistry of liquid sodium systems. Often, small bench-scale experiments require metal stirring, usually accomplished by mechanical means. An alternate method has been suggested which would employ a rotating magnetic field similar to the principal of the three-phase induction. This method has been successfully employed with the convenient use of the stator windings of a 1.5 hp, three-phase, two-pole induction motor. The stirring stator coils are water cooled.
