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.

Experimental measurements of the gamma-ray pulse-height distributions due to the products of fast-neutron-induced fission of 235U and 238U are presented. The measurements were made at nine selected times, ¼, ½, 1, 2, 5, 10, 24, 48, and 72 h after fission. Irradiation times and counting intervals were chosen to minimize saturation and decay effects. The experimental data were used to calculate 100 energy bin distributions of the absolute number of photons/(fission sec) by means of absolute calibrations of the collimated NaI(Tl) detector. The number of fissions in each sample was determined radiochemically. Machine computation was used extensively.
