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.

An integral transport equation-based industrial radiography simulation code is parallelized using the Message Passing Interface standard on computers with both distributed- and shared-memory architectures. The algorithm involves partitioning of the problem domain into regions that are connected to each other through interface conditions. This results in a simultaneous set of integral transport equations. Each equation in the set is assigned to a different processor in the platform. The new algorithm is subjected to scalability tests in both cluster and shared-memory architectures for a varying number of processors with different problem domain partition strategies. The results show a high level of scalability with favorable results in both architectures.
