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 MELCOR computer code has been used to simulate the National Research Universal full-length high-temperature 2 (FLHT-2) test. Input data for the analysis were obtained from the FLHT-2 test Data Report and from SCDAP input. Results are presented for the transient liquid level in the test bundle, heat transfer to the bypass flow, cladding and shroud temperatures, and hydrogen generation. Comparisons are made with experimental data and with SCDAP calculations. Several sensitivity calculations with MELCOR, which explore the impact of varying user-input modeling and time-step control parameters on the predicted behavior, were also carried out.
