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.

Measurements of the energy spectra of delayed neutrons for the isotope-separated, fission product precursors 93-97Rb and 143-145Cs, over the energy region from ∼10 to ∼1300 keV, are reported. These data were obtained at the TRISTAN ISOL facility using gas-filled proton-recoil proportional counters. The data for each of the rubidium and cesium isotopes show good qualitative agreement with the existing 3He ionization chamber data at energies above ∼200 keV. In addition, they provide definitive spectral information down to ∼10 keV. Of particular note is the observation of line structure below ∼200 keV with energy resolution much better than that obtained using 3He ionization chambers.
