Advanced Reactor Technologies Advanced Reactor Technologies Program Management Plan

Abstract

The Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) program grew out of earlier Department of Energy efforts to promote next-generation, small modular, and other advanced reactor concepts. It is now sponsored by Office of Advanced Reactor Deployment, NE-52. Because of its peculiar genesis, the program resides at multiple national laboratories and brings in researchers from subcontracting entities and universities. This creates a need for Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL’s) ART to authorize and define work through memorandum purchase orders, inter-entity work orders, and subcontracts. ART manages research and development (R&D) for the Gas-Cooled Reactors (GCRs) Campaign and other advanced-reactor technologies and ensures that Nuclear Regulatory Commission (requirements and stakeholder needs are factored into the R&D activities. The GCR Campaign supports the Next Generation Nuclear Plant High Temperature Reactor as outlined in the Energy Policy Act of 20051 by

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
