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 Godunov method that tracks nonstationary fronts and interfaces as boundaries of subregions moving with time is extended to include radiation transport. In each subregion and at each time step, a new grid is created by use of boundary-fitted coordinates. The radiation transport is performed in a multiangle-multifrequency approach. The numerical method is based on a finite volume method in the space time-domain, and the hydrodynamic fluxes are calculated using the solution of Riemann problems. Numerical results are shown for some selected problems to demonstrate the efficiency of this approach.
