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.

Neutrons and prompt gamma rays emitted by excited fission fragments have been studied using an angular momentum dependent statistical model. The computer program MAMI written for this purpose is described briefly. The difficulties in choosing suitable emission strengths are discussed in more detail. Some results are given, related to the influence of spin on competition between neutron and gamma-ray emission, on total average gamma-ray energy, on average neutron multiplicity, and on average neutron kinetic energy.
