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.

A series of reactivity-to-power frequency response measurements was made on the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment. This was done for 233U and 235U fuels, for a range of operating power levels, at several points in the system operating history, and for several different test procedures. A comparison of experimental results with prior theoretical predictions confirmed the validity of the theoretical predictions. The test program included measurements using the pseudorandom binary sequence, pseudorandom ternary sequence, n-sequence, and the multifrequency binary sequence.
