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.

Neutron-wave propagation in the crystalline moderator, graphite, is studied by numerically solving the Boltzmann equation in the diffusion approximation. For each source frequency, the method employed (described in detail in Part I of this series) gives the fundamental mode eigenvalue and the corresponding neutron energy distribution. Various source frequencies in the range 10 to 500 cps have been considered and it is shown that a discrete mode exists for f < f ≈ 350 cps. The Pn coefficients and also the diffusion constant and diffusion cooling constant have been obtained and compared with experimental data. The agreement between our theoretical values of different parameters and the corresponding experimental data is better than what has so far been reported.
