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.

Heat transfer from a heated tube to an unsteady dispersed flow was studied experimentally at post-dryout conditions for the following range of variables: mass flux, 1. 40 to 3.60 g/cm2. s; pressure, 1.20 to 1.60 bar; heat flux, 1.70 to 4.20 W/cm2; inlet quality, 0.50 to 1.0; flow cycle, 0 to 3 s−1. The experimental results show that at equivalent mean vapor quality no noticeable differences in the heat transfer data exist between a steady-state and a cyclically dispersed flow. A comparison of the experimental data with the wall temperature calculated using an analytical model indicates that the interphase heat transfer is of considerable importance and that the wall-droplet interaction can be neglected at qualities greater than 0.50.
