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.

Hydrolysis constants of the zinc ion were measured at 25, 50, 75, 185, 200, and 225°C through the direct measurement of pH using pH sensors, especially of the yttria-stabilized zirconia membrane-type in the case of high temperatures over 185°C, and evaluation was done on the temperature dependence of the hydrolysis constants of the zinc ion. Solubilities of zinc oxide in pure oxygenated water were measured at 150, 200, and 250°C. Equilibrium constants of zinc oxide dissolution and the values of Gf0(Zn2+) at each temperature were estimated by thermodynamic analysis applying the estimated hydrolysis constants to the solubility data of ZnO.
