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.

Calculations have been carried out to determine the effect of Fe-Ni-Co-V alloys on fusion reactor neutronic performance. The radiation damage in the first structural wall and the tritium breeding ratio were calculated as a function of alloy composition using the tritium breeding blanket module of the Experimental Power Reactor as the reference design. The atomic displacement rate was found to be approximately constant for all alloy combinations. However, the gas production and tritium breeding exhibit reasonably large variations (∼20%) as the cobalt concentration is increased in the alloy.
