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.

A pinhole camera technique has been used to measure the variation in neutron emission intensity over the area of the neutron-producing target of the National Bureau of Standards Electron Linac. The method uses a one-dimensional position-sensitive proportional counter (PSPC) with an intrinsic spatial resolution of 1.0 mm. The pinhole is made in a thick sheet of cadmium and neutron energy (<0.3-eV) selection is achieved by time-of-flight. In a completely separate experiment, the neutron cone obtained from the (d,t) reaction using the associated-particle technique was imaged by a two-dimensional PSPC. This second measurement demonstrated the use of the two-dimensional detector for imaging high-energy (14-MeV) neutrons.
