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.

Generalized bias operators (GBOs) can be derived from the differences in the calculations of a nuclear system by two methods. One method is accurate and expensive and the other one is less accurate and less expensive. These GBOs serve to improve the accuracy of the less accurate methods for systems similar to the original one. Two applications are discussed. In the first application, diffusion-type calculations with GBOs give transport calculations quality results. In the second application, one-dimensional calculations with GBOs replace two-dimensional calculations. The method is applied for calculating the Zion-2 core.
