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.

Reactivity measurements on cadmium-clad cylinders of uranium, uranium oxide, thorium, and thorium oxide have been interpreted to yield the following effective resonance integrals. For cylinders all with radii of 1.73 cm and with the listed densities: The results are corrected for nonresonance absorptions of neutrons at energies above cadmium cutoff.
