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 cross section for the reaction 35-h Rh105 (n,γ)30-sec Rh106 has been measured using a TRIGA reactor in the pulsed mode of operation as a neutron source. The effective thermal-neutron (0 to 0.5 eV) cross section was found to be 13 300 ± 1 500 b, relative to a 36-b cross section for Co59 . The cadmium ratio was observed to be ≥ 20 in a neutron flux for which a cadmium ratio of 7 was measured for cobalt.
