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.

Multiple-collision solutions of the time-, space-, and angle-dependent neutron transport equation in slab geometry are given. Two different monodirectional sources have been used: (a) a δ(t)-shaped pulse of neutrons [δ(t): Dirac delta distribution] impinging on the slab at time t = 0, and (b) a “rectangular” source, emitting neutrons for a time interval Δt, describing a somewhat more realistic situation. Detailed results up to collision order three are discussed and exhibited in several figures. Interestingly, the “scalar” flux of one-time-scattered neutrons for the slab problem turns out to be independent of space in the region influenced by the slab boundaries.
