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 time and speed independent neutron transport equation in its integral form is applied to the calculation of the disturbed neutron flux in the vicinity of neutron detectors. The method is also applied to the calculation of the average flux in a two-detector system where the detectors are close enough to interact with each other. Hand methods of solving the integral equations are developed and shown to give results in good agreement with more accurate numerical methods of solving the integral equations.
