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.

Angular dependent fast-neutron penetration spectra have been calculated and experimentally measured for fast neutrons non-normally incident on water slabs. Previously reported work has included a comprehensive set of experimental measurements for angular dependent penetration spectra measured for poly energetic fast neutrons normally incident on water slabs. Corresponding Monte Carlo calculated results were in good agreement and were tabulated for direct calculations of penetration spectra for complex geometries. The results of the experiments described here extend the applicability of these results for normal incidence to certain cases of non-normal incidence.
