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.

The distributions in water of indium resonance and 115In(n,n′)115m In neutrons from a 2.85-MeV T( ρ ,n)3 He source have been measured. The values of the integrated plane activities perpendicular to the proton beam direction (including the extrapolated region beyond the range of measurement in each plane) are presented. The experimental results are in agreement with Monte Carlo calculations utilizing two oxygen elastic-scattering descriptions and agree within quoted standard deviations in both cases.
