General Matter to build Kentucky enrichment plant under DOE lease
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced it has signed a lease with General Matter for the reuse of a 100-acre parcel of federal land at the former Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Kentucky for a new private-sector domestic uranium enrichment facility.

A model for sampling inelastic hadron/nucleon interactions at energies below 5 GeV is described. The model describes the total hadronic cross section as a sum of quasi-two-body reaction channels. Inelastic events are sampled by first selecting one of these reaction channels and the subsequent decay of all resonances produced. Comparison with exclusive and inclusive data indicates very good agreement. The model is very well suited for hadron cascade calculations, detector simulation, and as input for models of hadron/nucleus interactions.
