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.

An improved digital computer model DYNAM/US has been developed for predicting thermally induced instability in a once-through boiling flow with superheat. The present model includes newly developed dynamic schemes to calculate subcooled boiling, transition boiling, bulk boiling, as well as superheat. Numerical results revealed that this digital model compared well with existing experimental data and was able to predict lower natural frequencies as well as the system frequency response at higher frequencies.
