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.

This paper describes a technique for simulating the neutron diffusion equations by an electrical analogy of a transmission line. The analog may be constructed for single or multienergy groups in one, two, or three dimensions. This paper presents examples of one-dimensional systems studied by one-group and by two-group theory. The technique is considered to be especially useful for the instruction of students because it enables them to obtain an insight into the characteristics of the solution and to gain an appreciation of the factors which affect the results.
