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.

The next-event estimator in the MORSE multigroup Monte Carlo code has been extended to include Klein-Nishina scattering and annihilation radiation from pair production for both the forward and adjoint modes of calculation. A formulation for the solid angle subtended at a point by a cylinder has also been used in the estimator. These procedures have been included in the investigation of the gamma-ray environment of a remote fuel reprocessing facility. Calculational results are presented which indicate the validity and efficiency of the developed methods as compared to those in standard use.
