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.

The RELAP4 computer program has been used to study loss-of-flow and loss-of-coolant transients for the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR). Simple experimental tests have been conducted to provide RELAP4 model parameters. The computer results have provided an understanding of MURR behavior under accident conditions, and may also be useful in understanding the low pressure/low temperature range of transients at other reactors.
