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 Milne problem for isotropic scattering for one speed and for the conservative case, (c = 1), is solved by using the full-range completeness property of Case’s eigenfunctions. Explicit numerical results are derived by iterating on a very rapidly convergent Fredholm integral equation, and the results thus obtained are in excellent agreement with those obtained previously by the use of Case’s half-range completeness theorem. Since for multigroup formulations the full-range completeness is more easily proved (as compared to the half-range completeness), it is felt that the present approach may prove useful.
