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 method of extending the spherical harmonics method to calculation of velocity dependent neutron transport processes is described. Application of the method is made to a variation of the Milne problem with the model of an ideal gas of unit mass for the scattering medium. The results indicate that the method can give accurate analytical expressions for the neutron density for such velocity dependent problems.
