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.

We discuss the behaviour of the asymptotic thermal flux in the “pulsed” and “exponential” experiments. In particular, we give a pair of theorems which bear upon the possibility of measuring λ0 and L in certain cases. One shows that all λi(B2) disappear at sufficiently large B2, the other that all space decay constants disappear at sufficiently large concentration of absorber.
