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.

Until now, the only benchmarks known in probabilistic dynamics were very simple onedimensional cases. This technical note demonstrates how to obtain from these results the solution of multidimensional problems with independent dynamics and then shows how the use of quasi monomial transformations leads to a wide variety of benchmarks for two-state problems in both repairable and nonrepairable assumptions.
