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 in-scattering sources in the group-Legendre expansion of the Boltzmann equation can be classified by four-index sources, four-index cross sections, or four-index kernels, depending on the type of multigroup approximation used. These four-index transfer elements are related to basic cross-section data through a general four-way logic which applies to narrow and wide groups alike, to heavy and light scatterers alike, and to elastic and single-level inelastic scattering alike. As an application of the logic, the effect of inelastic energy-angle correlation on the calculation of some reactor parameters is demonstrated.
