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 new nonlinear coarse-mesh rebalance (CMR) method is developed and tested to accelerate the one- and two-dimensional discrete ordinates neutron transport calculations. The method is based on rebalance factors that are angular dependent and defined on the coarse-mesh boundaries only. Unlike the conventional CMR method that is only conditionally stable, Fourier analysis and numerical tests show that this coarse-mesh angular dependent rebalance (CMADR) method is unconditionally stable for any optical thickness, scattering ratio, and coarseness and that the acceleration is very effective in most cases.
