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.

Differential neutron cross sections of 10B for elastic scattering have been measured for ∼30 incident neutron energies between 4 and 8 Me V. Neutrons inelastically scattered from the 0.717-MeV level were completely resolved from the elastic group except at the most forward angles at energies above 7.5 MeV. Generally, the differential cross sections are slowly varying with energy, indicating little resonance structure in this region. These data are consistent with earlier lower energy measurements done at Edwards Accelerator Laboratory and provide detailed data in a region where only sparse data were previously available to evaluators and designers in the nuclear energy field.
