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 most general linear truncation relation for the spherical harmonic representation of the transport equation in three dimensions is shown in any order to be a partial differential equation. This equation is uniquely determined up to two independent scalar parameters in the time-dependent case and one scalar parameter in the time-independent case. In the time-dependent situation, one of the parameters may be related to the other parameter, which is pertinent to the time-independent limit, in such a way as to give correct retardation in all orders.
