Breaking ground on a new approach to construction
The drive to Kairos Power’s reactor demonstration site in Oak Ridge, Tenn., is not only scenic—it’s historic. Nearly 85 years ago, roughly 30,000 construction workers transformed orchards and farmland into a key Manhattan Project site. Depending on your route, you may pass by one of the three gatehouses that were once military checkpoints controlling access to Atomic Energy Commission production facilities.

Plasma turbulence driven by the Ion Temperature Gradient) is investigated by gyrofluid simulation in slab geometry for the analysis of statistical characteristics as well as transport and detailed structure of turbulence. It is found that even in the presence of the zonal flows, background turbulence has radial structure with different time scale. However, it is found that this structure is subject to the same correlation dimension, which means the turbulent may be governed by a single dynamics despite of different time scale.
