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 model using two structure attenuation coefficients was used to estimate the far-field exposure contribution for an experimental house. Restricted least-squares and minimum absolute deviation (MAD) techniques were used to make these far-field exposure contribution estimates. The latter two methods yielded results which were superior to the usual unrestricted least-squares technique. The far-field contribution was always positive and all coefficients were positive but less than unity.
