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 new technique has been employed to generate Legendre components of group-to-group neutron scattering cross-section matrices for two-body interactions. This semianalytic procedure, which treats the rapidly fluctuating cross-section behavior analytically, has been incorporated in the MINX processor, a code for the Multigroup Interpretation of Nuclear X-sections. The algorithm requires only a minimum of numerical approximations and uses recursive formulas well suited to performing the required integrations. A flexible energy integration mesh is employed so that localized resonance phenomena may be adequately represented.
