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 effects of bubble interaction and boundary surfaces on the radial oscillation dynamics of multiple air bubbles in a liquid pool are analyzed. Quantitative predictions are obtained for the coupling between bubble phasing and the distribution of power over a range of frequencies, the crowding effect on bubble frequency when multiple bubbles are formed in a single pool, the effect on frequency of a bubble's rise from a point near the floor of a pool toward the free surface, and the frequency correction for test tank data when the design condition of interest is a discharge in a larger pool.
