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 Stabilized March Technique, SMT, is extended to the numerical solution of second-order, inhomogeneous problems, i.e., the multigroup neutron diffusion equations in one space dimension, and the one-velocity neutron transport equation in one space dimension. In the SMT, the solution vector is expanded in a complete set of vectors which is used in an unstable difference equation. The error growth is controlled, however, by periodic matrix transformations and may be preset. The method has its greatest advantage in relation to the computational speed of conventional methods in elongated meshes, such as multigroup diffusion calculations, or low-order discrete ordinate or PN calculations with many spatial mesh points.
