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.

Differential cross sections for neutron-induced gamma-ray production from thorium have been measured for incident neutron energies between 0.3 and 20.0 MeV. The Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator was used as a neutron source. A Nal spectrometer at 125 deg detected the gamma rays. Data include the doubly differential cross section, d2σ/dΩdEγ, for gamma-ray energies between 0.3 and 10.6 MeV and the integrated gamma-ray yield as a function of the incident neutron energy.
