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 magnitude and energy dependence of the 9Be(n,t1)7Li reaction have been measured between 13.3.- and 15-MeV neutron energy by observing the gamma decay of the first excited state of 7Li with a Ge(Li) detector. A ring and shadow-cone geometry was used. The results are in disagreement with a previous measurement of this cross section.
