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.

Using the NJOY nuclear data processing system, three multigroup MATXS-formatted nuclear data libraries were generated based on the European datafiles JEF-1 and EFF-1, After processing with TRAMIX, TRANSX, or TRANSX-CTR, these libraries can be read into most transport and diffusion codes. For the neutron analysis of gas-cooled or water-moderated thermal reactor systems (including high converter pressurized water reactors), a 70-group WIMS-BOXER structured library was generated. A general-purpose fine-group library in 308 groups is provided for thermal as well as for fast reactor systems. A coupled 175 neutron/42 photon-group library in VITAMIN-J structure was created for the analysis of shielding problems and fusion blanket design. The three MATXS files can be requested from the Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank.
