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 negative Doppler effect has been observed in measurements on a metallic uranium sample (enriched to 93% in U235) placed in a typical fast-reactor spectrum which has a median fission energy of 195 keV. The plausibility of the negative sign is supported on theoretical grounds, although with the use of standard analytical techniques and the limited number of resonance parameters at present available, it cannot be calculated for this spectrum. The value for was found to be -5.65 × 10-6/°C. New measurements on U238 have been made, and the data on Th232, previously published, have been extended to 930 C. The agreement between analytical and experimental values for the latter two materials is good.
