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.

Cumulative fission yields for 17 fission products (16 mass chains) created by thermal-neutron fission of 241Pu were determined from analysis of gross fission product gamma-ray spectra obtained using a large-volume Ge(Li) detector. Uncertainties assigned to nine of the measured yields are smaller than existing evaluated uncertainties.
