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 hydraulic results of a series of 21-rod bundle water experiments have been analyzed systematically. Models are established for the prediction of the pressure drop over unblocked bundles, grid spacers, coplanar concentric blockage, coplanar concentric blockage with bypass, noncoplanar concentric blockage, and noncoplanar nonconcentric blockage. The models can be extended to other bundles with similar characteristics. The comparisons of these models with the experimental results agree reasonably well.
