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 existing mathematical model that describes the contamination of isothermal steel surfaces by radioactive corrosion products in high-temperature water is extended by including a term for mass transfer across the fluid boundary layer. Fits to experimental data from recirculating and once-through loops remain good, while predictions of corrosion rate are altered slightly. Resulting variations of initial deposition coefficient and surface activity with velocity are shown.
