DOE Awards Rapid Turnaround Experiments to Advance Nuclear Fuels and Materials | Department of Energy DOE Awards Rapid Turnaround Experiments to Advance Nuclear Fuels and Materials Recipients gain up to nine months of access to state-of-the-art facilities at no cost. WASHINGTON, D. C.
— The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today awarded 23 Rapid Turnaround Experiment (RTE) projects that support the deployment of advanced reactors, fuel cycle development, and the continued operation of the nation’s existing nuclear reactor fleet.
The user awards advance President Trump’s efforts to re-establish the United States as a global leader in nuclear energy and support Executive Order 14302 , Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base, to increase access to research infrastructure and expertise at DOE’s national laboratories.
Rapid Turnaround Experiment awards facilitate the advancement of nuclear science and technology by providing nuclear energy researchers timely access to irradiation testing, post-irradiation examination, and technical expertise provided through the Department’s Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) at no cost to the researchers.
The selected RTE project research teams will have up to nine months to complete their experiments and include 23 principal investigators from 12 universities, three national laboratories, and two advanced reactor companies, who will work with the NSUF on their proposed experiments. The competitively selected projects encompass a range of nuclear fuels and materials research that will advance next-generation nuclear technologies.
Key materials being studied include advanced metallic fuels, silicon carbide, molten salts, structural steels, fiber optics, and additively manufactured sensors that could be promising candidate materials for use in advanced nuclear reactors. View a complete list of all 23 NSUF selections HERE . The research capabilities provided to complete this work are equal to approximately $1.
4 million in support. NSUF advances the Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy’s mission through a consortium of state-of-the-art irradiation and post-irradiation testing facilities that can be utilized in support of nuclear energy research and development. Each facility brings exceptional capabilities and expert mentors to the projects.
This is the first round of fiscal year 2025 RTE awards. The next RTE call for proposals in fiscal year 2025 is a now open. A Super RTE call for proposals that allows for larger scopes of work and up to 12 months to complete a project is also anticipated later in the year.

The Genesis Mission is pouring $320 million into AI while nuclear physics grants fall 18% and a program merger threatens to subsume an entire discipline. What researchers outside AI need to know.
Read articleThe Trump administration committed $5B and 278 projects across 15+ agencies to the Genesis Mission. Here's the structure — and how to position for the next wave.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026, the White House announced more than $5 billion in federal commitments for the Genesis Mission — the Department of Energy-led national initiative to fuse AI, exascale computing, and the 17 national labs into a single scientific platform. Nearly 300 projects across all 50 states were selected from a historic Request for Applications, and 15-plus agencies are now attaching funding to a set of National Science and Technology Challenges. Here is what the Genesis Mission is, how the money is structured, and the concrete on-ramps for researchers, universities, and small businesses who were not in the first cohort.
