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.

Consistent calculation and analysis of neutron scattering data of 233,235,237U with optical model, semiclassical model including both the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory and the exciton model, the coupled channel theory, and distorted wave Born approximation were carried out in the En 20-MeV energy range based on the experimental data. In particular, the analysis includes the prompt fission neutron spectra and the double-differential cross section for neutron emission. Theoretical calculations are compared with recent experimental data and other evaluated data from ENDF/B-VI release 6 and JENDL-3.3.
