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 will include a report on RP3C's development of a Guidance Document aimed at standards developers to help incorporate RIPB principles into their standards, (tentatively) a presentation on the current status of a standard under development, a discussion of Southern Company's use of the "affirmative safety case" concept in their approach to non-LWR licensing basis development, and a brief presentation on ANS's newly constituted "Advanced Reactor Working Group."
