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.

Assessment of the RELAP5/MOD2 code on the basis of experiments performed in a pressurized water reactor simulator, the LOBI/MOD2 facility at the European Research Center of Ispra in Italy is reported. In particular, significant experience gained in the analysis of two small-break loss-of-coolant accidents (tests A2-81 and A1-83), a steam generator tube rupture (test BL-21), a natural circulation (test A2-77A), and four transients (tests A2-90, BT-00, BT-01, and BT-03) is discussed.
