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 spectrum of the multigroup-multipoint operator with delayed neutrons is studied under the assumption of a common fission spectrum. Using the fact that the fission operator is proportional to a projector, the Weinstein-Aronszajn technique for degenerate perturbation can be used. The general problem is first reduced to a problem without delayed neutrons. The high degeneracy of the spectrum is further examined and connected with the definition of “clusters.”
