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 vectorial form of the neutron streaming term used in the Boltzmann equation has been derived. With the aid of this vectorial form, the explicit expression of the neutron streaming term in a generalized coordinate system can readily be obtained. Examples of applications in the orthogonal curvilinear and the elliptical-elliptical toroidal coordinate systems are given for illustration.
