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.

In current salt-free flow sheets, U(IV) is used as a reductant in reductive partitioning of U-Pu. Because U(IV)-tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) solvate has a low solubility in the organic phase, quantitative knowledge of U(IV) distribution behavior is important. Published data on U(IV) distribution between an aqueous nitric acid and 30% TBP/n-dodecane biphasic system at 298.15 K is analyzed, and an empirical model is reported. Performance of this model is compared with one earlier published model.
