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.

Gas chromatography with a modified mordenite column was shown to yield a good hydrogen isotope separation at only 173 K. A linear relationship between peak height and concentration over several orders of magnitude was observed. From an extrapolation of the data it is concluded that all six hydrogen isotopes can be separated in only 13 min. Gas chromatographically separated radioactive hydrogens were detected with a small volume ionization chamber. The detection limit achieved for tritium was found to be about 0.3 ppm.
