DOE, General Matter team up for new fuel mission at Hanford
The Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management (EM) on Tuesday announced a partnership with California-based nuclear fuel company General Matter for the potential use of the long-idle Fuels and Materials Examination Facility (FMEF) at the Hanford Site in Washington state.
According to the announcement, the DOE and General Matter have signed a lease to explore the FMEF's potential to be used for advanced nuclear fuel cycle technologies and materials, in part to help satisfy the predicted future requirements of artificial intelligence.

This panel highlights research supporting the design and optimization of information automation systems for nuclear power plants. Much of the nuclear industry is currently focused on modernization of plant systems, including potential introduction of advanced automation, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies. The introduction of novel technologies will change the nature of much of the work currently conducted at nuclear plants. Effectively integrating new technical systems with the user community is key to ensuring their effectiveness once deployed. In this panel session, we highlight progress on a program of research focused on providing the industry with tools and techniques to support effective modernization from a human-systems integration point of view, specifically with regard to information automation.
