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.

The Future of Nuclear Maritime Propulsion is the second in a series of sessions sponsored by DESD. At the 2023 Winter Meeting we will discuss the potential future of non-naval nuclear propulsion and floating offshore nuclear power generation, the opportunities for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and the challenges with licensing these vessels for international commerce. Recent Department of Energy grants have spurred interest in this subject. These grants and other opportunities will also be discussed during this session.
