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.

Long-term corrosion performance of the waste package is among the key engineered barrier system attributes of a potential high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Waste package degradation processes are evaluated on the basis of independent investigations conducted at the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses. This paper summarizes the results of laboratory measurements and model analyses focused on uniform, localized, and microbially influenced corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking of Alloy 22 (UNS N06022).
