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 position-sensitive neutron detector is used to measure the differential cross sections of 14.8-MeV neutrons from iron, nickel, and chromium scattered in the angular range of 2.5 to 16 deg. The data are corrected for flux attenuation, multiple neutron scattering, and finite geometry by the Monte Carlo method. The angular distributions are calculated with the coupled-channel code ECIS79. The measured and calculated results are compared and discussed.
