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.

Capacity curves, spray distributions, and droplet size distributions of light water reactor [pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR)] containment spray nozzles are obtained, and the heat removal effectiveness is evaluated by a computer pro gram CONDENSE. It is revealed by the calculations that spray droplets from a PWR spray nozzle always attain the containment atmosphere temperature and spray droplets from a BWR spray nozzle attain the containment atmosphere temperature above ≈70°C.
