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.

An efficient groupwise rebalancing technique for accelerating the iterative solution to the integral transport equation is described, and the results obtained for a number of unit cell problems with the lattice analysis code HAMMER are presented to demonstrate its efficiency. For light water reactor lattices, a factor of 2 or more saving in central processor unit time of the CDC 7600 computer was observed.
