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 simple semi-empirical formula has been obtained for the whole-atom integral incoherent scattering cross sections of elements for gamma rays in the 300- to 1250-keV energy region by studying the energy dependence of the experimentally obtained incoherent scattering cross sections of elements in the 279.2- to 1330-keV energy region. The values of the incoherent scattering cross sections evaluated using this formula are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical values compiled by Hubbell et al.
