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 same probabilistic approach is applied to the case of complex reactions, i.e., of convex combinations of single reactions. The dynamical systems obtained in this way are considerably more complex than those that arise in the study of single reactions. In particular, complex reactions give rise to higher dimensional systems and require a more sophisticated analysis. No complex dynamics is observed in this work, with the exception of those cases that are not physically relevant.
