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.

Transition boiling heat transfer data from Semiscale Mod-3 gravity feed reflood experiments have been compared to existing transition boiling correlations. The existing correlations were found to be inadequate for predicting the Semiscale rod bundle data; therefore, a new correlation for transition boiling was developed. The new correlation is applicable for boiling water with stainless steel, electrically heated vertical rods in a pressure range of 138 to 414 kPa. When the new transition boiling correlation is combined with the Berenson film boiling correlation, a good fit to Semiscale reflood data results.
