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.

Session Organizer:
This Future of Nuclear Maritime Propulsion panel is the final in a series of sessions sponsored by DESD and OPD. At the 2021 Annual Meeting, we looked at the history of non-naval nuclear power. At the 2021 Winter Meeting, we discussed the decommissioning of the NS Savannah, including a virtual tour of the ship. At this meeting we will look at the potential future of non-naval nuclear propulsion and floating offshore nuclear power generation and its opportunities and challenges. Recent Department of Energy grants have spurred interest in this subject. These grants and other opportunities will also be discussed during this session.
