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.

In December 2011, the National Nuclear Data Center released ENDF/B-VII.1, the “latest recommended evaluated nuclear data file for use in nuclear science and technology applications.” The data were released in the standard Evaluated Nuclear Data Format (ENDF). This release represents the advances made in nuclear data during the 5 years since the release of ENDF/B-VII.0. The Nuclear Data Team at Los Alamos National Laboratory has processed the ENDF/B-VII.1 library and made available a library of ACE data tables at several temperatures for each of the ENDF/B files. The ACE data library is called ENDF71x and is available through the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center with MCNP6. The files can also be used with MCNP5 or other Monte Carlo codes.
