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.

Diffusion lengths have been measured in H2O as a function of boric acid concentration. From these measurements of diffusion lengths, the diffusion parameters of water were determined by an improved method of analysis. The diffusion parameters for water reported are: the microscopic absorption cross section σa = 326.9 ± 1.6mb, the diffusion coefficient = 35,850 ± 100 cm2/sec and the diffusion hardening coefficient H = 2900 ± 350 cm4/sec.
