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 thermal fission yields of 43 mass chains for 233U, 235U, 239Pu, and 241Pu and the fast reactor fission yields of 45 mass chains for 235U and 239Pu have been measured with a relative standard deviation of 1 to 2%. The data were obtained mainly by measuring long-lived and stable fission products by the technique of isotope dilution mass spectrometry. This paper has two sections: the first reports the fission yields, the second describes the chemical analysis techniques for the fission products.
