White House adviser outlines DOE reactor pilot goal, says testing has resumed
Summary
Michael Kratios said the administration set an "ambitious goal" for a DOE reactor pilot program and said industry testing and construction activity have resumed after prior stagnation; the transcript provided to this report cuts off during the pilot-goal description.
Michael Kratios said the president set an "ambitious goal" for the Department of Energy reactor pilot program and described renewed activity in reactor testing and construction.
"You are building again. We are testing again," Kratios said, summarizing what he called the industry's new momentum after recent federal actions.
Kratios said the DOE pilot program includes a specific target for early test reactors. The available transcript states that "At least 3 test reactors would achieve criticality before the 4th," but the recording/transcript available to this report cuts off immediately after that phrase and does not record further detail on timing or conditions.
Because the transcript ends mid-sentence, the article notes that details on sequencing, timelines and any associated funding or regulatory milestones were not captured in the provided record and remain "not specified."
