The deadline arrives: Checking in on the Reactor Pilot Program
On May 23, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14301, “Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the DOE,” which instructed the Department of Energy to create a Reactor Pilot Program (RPP)—a new system in which companies could pursue DOE authorization to build and test their first-of-a-kind nuclear technologies. EO 14301 set an ambitious goal for that program: three reactors achieving criticality by July 4, 2026.

This year the Workforce Development Track has added a discussion around the training, development, and retention of Engineers, including all areas of Engineering Leadership, Design, Programs, Systems, Fuels, etc. Similar to other Departments, the traditional engineering initial training included classroom, mentoring and continuing training has strengths but also has some challenges as well as opportunities to use new methods, systems, and tools, individually and across the industry. To discuss the challenges and opportunities we have brought together this panel to share different ideas and perspectives.
