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.

Fast neutron scattering cross sections have been measured for 13C Angular distributions for elastic scattering over an angular range from 20 to 155 deg are presented for incident neutron energies of 9.97, 11.96, 13.94, 15.94, and 17.92 MeV. Inelastic scattering data were obtained at 9.97 MeV for states at excitation energy 3.09 MeV and for the unresolved states at 3.68 and 3.85 MeV. The data were corrected for finite sample and source effects using a Monte Carlo simulation. Legendre polynomial coefficients for angular distributions and optical model fits to the elastic scattering data are reported.
