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 time and speed independent neutron transport equation in its integral form is applied to the calculation of the disturbed neutron flux in the vicinity of neutron detectors. The method is also applied to the calculation of the average flux in a two-detector system where the detectors are close enough to interact with each other. Hand methods of solving the integral equations are developed and shown to give results in good agreement with more accurate numerical methods of solving the integral equations.
