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.

Neutron transmission measurements from 100 eV to 170 keV at 150 m through four 238U samples are reported. The energy calibration is described, and the resultant 238U resolved resonance energies are found to be intermediate between those from other workers. In addition, some energies for sharp resonances in 23Na, 27Al, 32S, and 206Pb are given.
