The '''Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act (NEICA) Projects''', established in 2018 under the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act of 2017, are administered by the Department of Energy (DOE) through its Office of Nuclear Energy to provide competitive grants and contracts to researchers, national labs, and private companies, allocating over $2 billion since inception to support approximately 100 projects annually by 2025. Initially funded with $50 million, it has grown to distribute $500 million in FY 2024 across 100 awards, funding initiatives like microreactor development, advanced fuel testing, and nuclear test facility upgrades at sites like Idaho National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/ne/neica |title=Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act (NEICA) |publisher=U.S. Department of Energy}}</ref> Despite its impact, challenges like funding competition, regulatory barriers, and long development timelines persist (web ID: 4), but it remains a key DOE effort to innovate nuclear energy. | The '''Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act (NEICA) Projects''', established in 2018 under the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act of 2017, are administered by the Department of Energy (DOE) through its Office of Nuclear Energy to provide competitive grants and contracts to researchers, national labs, and private companies, allocating over $2 billion since inception to support approximately 100 projects annually by 2025.
