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.

Numerical calculations performed on the ORACLE have made possible exact inclusion of the effect of Doppler broadening of resonance lines in the calculation of resonance absorption integrals. The effective resonance integrals of U238 and Th232 have been calculated as functions of the scattering cross section per absorbing nucleus for 0° and 300°K. Agreement of the calculated (300°K) and experimental resonance integrals is excellent for U238 and good for Th232, except in the case of pure ThO2 where a discrepancy is noted.
