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 improved pulsing technique is described that should simplify the experimental procedure in obtaining reliable pulsed data for both the α-measurement and the (kß/) technique. It is shown that an equilibrium pulse shape can be obtained by continuing the time-channel analyzer after the last neutron burst to record all of the neutrons arising from the delayed precursors and providing the recording starts simultaneously with the initial burst. The source strength (neutrons per burst) need not be constant.
