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.

An experimental method of measuring parameters peculiar to a two-region nuclear reactor is developed requiring the measurement of the cross-power spectrum between the outputs of the two reactor regions when a random reactivity input is given to one of the regions. Using bandpass filters and an analog computer, the cross-power spectrum between the outputs of the two regions in the University of Florida Training Reactor has been measured. These data indicate that the propagation of a disturbance from one region of the reactor to the other region may adequately be described in terms of neutron-wave phenomena and that the method may be used to determine the multiplication factor of each region.
