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.

Thermonuclear reaction-rate and reactivity parameters calculated as a function of kT (for kT values from 1 to 1000 keV) are presented for all outgoing channels in nuclear reactions initiated by deuterons on 6Li. The results are based on recent experimental (d + 6Li) reaction cross sections and a newly derived cross-section extrapolation expression.
