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.

The convergence of the iterative procedure for solving the slowing down equation is examined. It is found that the rate of convergence of the iterative procedure depends on the ratio of the resonance scattering and absorption cross sections, being rapid if the resonance is predominantly absorbing. The method of Goldstein and Cohen for treating intermediate resonances is carried to the third approximation, and numerical results are obtained for the 192-eV resonance of 238U in a 1:1 mixture with hydrogen.
