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.

A description is given of the analysis of the 241Pu neutron cross sections in the resolved resonance region at Oak Ridge National Laboratory using the multilevel, multichannel Reich-Moore code SAMMY. The resonance parameters were obtained in the 0- to 300-eV energy range. The statistical properties of the parameters are discussed. Tabulated and graphical comparisons between the experimental data and the calculated cross sections are given. The results are available in ENDF/B-V format and are proposed for the evaluated data libraries ENDF/B-VI and JEF2.
