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 fission gas behavior computer model LAKU has been used to analyze annealing experiments performed on thermal reactor fuel and the transient in-pile experiment CABRI All. The results of the calculations revealed some minor weaknesses of the code. Consequently, changes were made in the modeling of the grain boundary gas bubbles, the release of intergranular gas, and the gas behavior in molten fuel. These modeling changes are presented together with the results of the recent calculations.
