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.

Modeling was carried out on vapor-liquid equilibria of nitric acid containing highly concentrated fission product nitrates to simulate the evaporation characteristics of a reprocessing plant high-level liquid waste (HLLW) concentrator. Results obtained with the model verified its reliability for prediction of vaporliquid equilibria of nitric acid containing highly concentrated nitrates. The results compared well with experimental data obtained with a pilot plant for HLLW concentration (capacity of 40 dm3).
