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.

Several models describing neutral particle transport through a binary stochastic background mixture are numerically compared. The test problem is one-group, time-independent transport with isotropic scattering in a source-free rod. The mixing statistics of the rod are taken as homogeneous and Markovian. Ensemble-averaged reflection and transmission probabilities as predicted by seven approximate models are compared with exact benchmark results that are available in the literature. Scalar flux plots that compare these seven models at interior rod locations are also given.
