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.

Twenty commercially available oxygen meters using improved ThO2-Y2O3 electrolytes were tested at two sites. Repeated calibration by the vanadium equilibration method showed the slope of the curve to be constant and identical for all meters. One vanadium equilibration per month was sufficient to correct for drift of the intercept. Ten meters (at one site) were used continuously for 18 months without failure. Two oxygen meters are now in routine use in EBR-II primary sodium. The observed stability and life of the present meters are considered adequate for effective use in LMFBR sodium systems.
