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.

Estimates are presented of the radiation environment for POINT2 of the Large Hadron Collider, where the ALICE detector is to be located. The radiation environment is studied in terms of two points of accidental beam losses. The dose level in the region of the counting rooms is lower than the recommended CERN limit of 50 mSv. The radiation level behind the access shielding at the air-duct chicane is not higher than 10 mSv; this area is also appropriated for use as a public area. A more complicated situation is in the machine bypass region. The dose level in the tunnel is a few hundred millisieverts, and a decrease of this level could be achieved by increasing the thickness of the wall or the beam pipe shielding.
