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.

Calculated results are presented of the variation with position in the experimental volume of a Li(D,n) neutron radiation damage facility of the damage energy and helium and hydrogen production in copper and in niobium when this volume is partially filled with experimental samples. At a given position in the experimental volume for either copper or niobium, the ratio of the damaged energy with no absorber to the damaged energy with a 50-mm-thick iron absorber or a 100-mm-thick carbon absorber is never >3 and in most positions is <2. The neutron nonelastic cross-section data at the higher energies (>15 to 20 MeV) needed to carry out the transport calculations were obtained from the intranuclear-cascade model of nuclear reactions.
