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 problem of linear transport in a stationary stochastic medium is examined in the context of stochastic geometry. Boolean models of stochastic media allow calculation of density correlations without use of Markovian assumptions. Most correlation functions are well represented by linear combinations of a few exponentials. Systems of integrodifferential equations are obtained either (a) by a perturbative treatment or (b) by truncation of the hierarchy of moments. The presence of an integral term (i.e., a nonlocal flux) can be avoided by the use of an approximate equivalence between the product of the transport Green function by an exponential with the transport Green function of a modified problem. Introduction of auxiliary unknowns gives rise to a system of coupled Boltzmann equations describing the ensemble average of the flux.
