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.

The emission probabilities of delayed neutrons are reevaluated on the basis of recently determined fission yields. The accuracy of the probabilities for thermal and fast fission of 233U and 235U is examined by summation of the individual delayed-neutron yields of the precursors and by comparison with the unseparated group and directly measured total delayed-neutron yields. The good agreement of the results obtained by the two independent methods indicates that the derived probabilities are accurate enough for the calculation of delayed-neutr on yields for other fissioning systems and for reactor calculations.
