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 two-grid acceleration scheme for the multigroup Sn equations with neutron upscattering is developed. Although it has been tested only in one-dimensional slab geometry with linear-discontinuous spatial differencing, previous experience suggests that it should be applicable in any geometry with any spatial differencing scheme for which an unconditionally efficient diffusion-synthetic acceleration scheme exists. The method is derived, theoretically analyzed, and computationally tested. The results indicate that the scheme is unconditionally effective in terms of error reduction per iteration and highly efficient in terms of computational cost.
