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 tritium facility at KMS Fusion, Inc. supports our Inertial Confinement Fusion research program. The main function of the facility is to fill glass or polymer shells to a maximum pressure of 100 atm. with tritium (T2) or deuterium-tritium (DT). The apparatus and procedures used in this process are described including provisions for tritium containment and monitoring. An estimate of equipment costs is given.
