I will introduce new chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions developed within the Low Energy Nuclear Physics International Collaboration (LENPIC). I then show results with these interactions for nucleon-deuteron scattering and compare with available experimental results. Considerable effort is devoted to assessing the theoretical uncertainties from the chiral effective field theory. Uncertainties decrease with increased chiral order in the theory. Residual differences between theory and experiment provide insights into areas for possible improvements.
