Transitioning from a 20-year career in Navy nuclear propulsion, Gillespie explains how NRIC bridges the gap between government resources and private startups through programs like Launchpad. By repurposing historic infrastructure like the EBR-II dome as a modern testbed, the lab provides the essential land, data, and safety expertise required to accelerate advanced reactor commercialization and secure domestic energy independence.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6XKzcc_tIITZ_hoHU7cBvYK-JMDcSwTJ2Upndp50BBA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YWMw/NzYxZGFjYTBhM2Rk/YjM0NDQ2MjMwMDFl/ZDMwOS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
