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.

The thermal-neutron capture cross section of Ce140 and its resonance capture integral, measured by an activation method, have been found to be 0.59 ± .06 barns and 0.48 ± .05 barns, respectively. The effective capture cross section of Ce141 in the Materials Testing Reactor was found to be 29 ± 3 barns. This value was determined by mass analysis for the neutron-induced Ce142.
