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.

Differential cross sections for the production of low-energy gamma rays (<240 keV) by neutron interactions in fluorine have been measured for neutron energies between 0.1 and 20 MeV. The Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator was used as the neutron source; incident neutron energies were determined by time-of-flight techniques. Gamma rays were detected at 92 deg using an intrinsic high-resolution germanium detector. Results are presented for the production cross sections of three gamma rays having energies of 96, 110, and 197 keV. These data are compared with previous experimental data; the agreement varies between poor and good.
