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.

Fast neutron scattering cross sections have been measured for 13C Angular distributions for elastic scattering over an angular range from 20 to 155 deg are presented for incident neutron energies of 9.97, 11.96, 13.94, 15.94, and 17.92 MeV. Inelastic scattering data were obtained at 9.97 MeV for states at excitation energy 3.09 MeV and for the unresolved states at 3.68 and 3.85 MeV. The data were corrected for finite sample and source effects using a Monte Carlo simulation. Legendre polynomial coefficients for angular distributions and optical model fits to the elastic scattering data are reported.
