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.

Comparison of many experimental methods and investigation of their systematic errors are indicated for the measurement of the ratio of the epicadmium 238U neutron capture rate to the subcadmium 238U capture rate in a slightly 235U-enriched (1.143%) fuel rod. An explanation of the discrepancy between theory and experiment is given.
