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.

The Transient Reactor Analysis Code (TRAC) is being developed at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory as an advanced “best-estimate” computer program for analyses of postulated accidents in light water reactors. As a part of the TRAC verification effort, a posttest analysis of loss-of-fluid test (LOFT) non-nuclear test L1-4 has been conducted. The results of this analysis show that TRAC accurately predicts the thermal-hydraulic response of the entire LOFT system, including the delayed effects from emergency core coolant injection into the cold leg.
