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.

Neutron capture by stable palladium isotopes has been measured by time-of-flight techniques at the Oak Ridge Linear Electron Accelerator up to the inelastic 2+ level thresholds for the even isotopes (except 102Pd) and up to 750 keV for the important fission product 105Pd. Resonance parameters were extracted from resolved peaks up to a few keV. Average cross sections for the pure isotopes were derived by linear combinations of the yields from partially enriched samples. Strength functions were fitted to these data in the energy range from 2.6 to 112 keV.
