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.

Calculations for the excitation functions of 63Cu(n,p)63Ni, 63Cu(n,np)62Ni, 63Cu(n,)60Co, 63Cu(n,)60mCo, 63Cu(n,n)59Co, 63Cu(n,n')63Cu, and 63Cu(n,2n)62Cu reactions were carried out using Hauser-Feshbach and preequilibrium reaction theories for neutrons in the 1- to 20-MeV energy range. The results have been compared with reported measurements and standard evaluations.
