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.

Oxygen redistribution in hypo stoichiometric plutonium-dioxide has been investigated in out-of-pile experiments. The heat of transport of oxygen thermal diffusion depends on the O/Pu ratio and increases from 0 to -28 kcal/mole when the O/Pu ratio increases from 1.65 to 1.95. The result is comparable to that obtained with mixed oxides, thus indicating the heat of transport of solid-state thermal diffusion to be independent of plutonium concentration in the mixed oxide.
