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 application of a conditional Monte Carlo method for estimating the solution of transport problems is described. Statistical estimators for solving transport problems by the conditional Monte Carlo method are given for both homogeneous and heterogeneous problems. The analog and conditional Monte Carlo solutions of a simple one-speed transport equation are compared with the exact deterministic solution. The application to deep penetration shielding problems is discussed.
