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 simple and convenient method is developed to account for the neutron resonance mismatches due to the composition dissimilitude in the vicinity of gross region interfaces. It is shown that the effective resonance cross sections near a region interface can be obtained from the table-look-up of a cross-section set. The numerical results obtained with the present method are shown to be in an excellent agreement with the exact calculations using a computer code.
