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 expository formalism concerning the derivation of various forms of neutron transport equations is discussed. It relies fundamentally on a general neutron conservation condition as the starting point. The basic concepts employed are (a) expected number of neutrons, (b) phase-space representation, and (c) neutron density function. Thereafter, application of the formalism involves only common mathematical operations and some understanding of neutron-nucleus interactions.
