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.

A number of samples of uranium irradiated in NRX have had their reactivities measured in CP-2 by the danger coefficient technique. By means of measurements on enriched, depleted, and poisoned unirradiated slugs, the reduction of the danger coefficient data to changed pile parameters (δη/η and δΣ/Σ) has been accomplished. A brief discussion of the significance of the data has been included.
