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.

Evaluation of the skyshine dose for the proton linac facility of the Proton Engineering Frontier Project in Korea was performed in this study. To predict the skyshine dose level outside of the facility, a Monte Carlo method (MCNPX code), analytical method using an estimation formula, and SKYSHINE-KSU codes using an integral line-beam method were considered in the evaluations. The neutron spectrum at the outer surface of the roof of the facility was considered as the radiation source term. The results from each method were in good agreement for the distance from 200 to 1000 m. The neutron dose of 1.65 × 10-4 Sv/h is expected at the fence of the facility, which is 400 m from the accelerator room.
