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.

A two-level input signal called the multifrequency binary signal (MFBS) was evaluated for use in nuclear reactor frequency response measurements and was employed in tests on the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment. The MFBS was found to have significant advantages over other currently used signals in terms of test duration required to achieve necessary accuracy.
