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.

Included in a project on a filtered and vented system for mitigating reactor meltdown accident consequences, FILTRA, a computational model, was developed for the investigation of iodine adsorption and desorption in a granular bed. The model considers physical adsorption, chemisorption, and desorption of free molecules carried by a gas through the bed. The calculational results show good agreement with experiments. A simplified version of the model has been used for calculating condensation and vaporization of volatile fission products in the primary circuit. The radioactive decay was ignored.
