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.

As the second part of this series, this paper describes the application of the statistical theory and multilevel formulation to the reactor Doppler effect studies. Analytical studies were carried out on the basis of the narrow resonance approximation. The studies were made in both the high-energy and the intermediate-energy regions, which are of great interest in fast reactor Doppler effect calculations. Some qualitative conclusions on the influence of the multilevel interference effect on the Doppler effect of fissile isotopes are also given.
