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.

Three neutron transport problems involving two different media are solved in two-group theory for isotropic scattering based on the singular-eigenfunction-expansion solution of the transport equation. This work has two purposes: First, it is shown that two-media problems in two-group theory can be reduced to regular computational forms using the half-range orthogonality theorem; second, in support of benchmark activities, three model problems are defined, and their solutions are reported based on an exact theory.
