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.

P1 blackness theory for infinite cylinders is developed in a manner analogous to the case of infinite slabs by defining effective diffusion theory cross sections in the “black” region which reproduce the desired boundary condition at the surface. Results of numerical analysis of a model problem are presented and the relative improvement of P1 blackness theory over normal P1 theory is compared with similar results for infinite slabs.
