Research reactors
Civilian (private and university) research and test reactors formerly licensed to operate
Research and test reactors under decommission orders or license amendments are authorized to decontaminate and dismantle their facility to prepare for final survey and license termination. Research and test reactors with possession-only licenses are not authorized to operate the reactor, only to possess the nuclear material on-hand. They are permanently shut down.| Operator | Location | Reactor | Power | Status |
| General Atomics | San Diego, California | Under decommission order or license amendment | ||
| Georgia Institute of Technology | Atlanta, GA | Georgia Tech Research Reactor: heavy water moderated and cooled | 5 MW | Shut down and defueled due to safety concerns related to nearby 1996 Summer Olympics events. Decommissioning announcement July 1, 1997, reactor building remnants removed as of 2015. |
| University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign | Urbana, Illinois | Under decommission order or license amendment | ||
| University of Michigan | Ann Arbor, Michigan | Under decommission order or license amendment | ||
| General Electric Company | Sunol, California | Possession-only license | ||
| University at Buffalo | Buffalo, New York | Retired in 1994. Possession-only license. | ||

Civilian (private and university) research and test reactors in construction
Executive Order 14301 created DOE's Reactor Pilot Program, expediting advanced reactor testing outside national labs, targeting criticality for three test reactors by July 4, 2026. 11 Reactors are being developed as part of this program. This list is of the reactors already in construction.| Operator | Location | Reactor | Power | Status |
