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 differential cross sections for the production of gamma radiation from fast-neutron inelastic scattering have been measured at incident neutron energies from 4.00 to 7.67 MeV for Be, C, O, Al, Si, Fe, Ni, Nb, W, and 239Pu. The gamma-ray spectra were measured with a NaI(Tl) spectrometer using time-of-flight techniques to eliminate the neutron background. The gamma-ray detector was surrounded with a large NaI(Tl) annulus operated in the anticoincidence mode. The resulting spectra were unfolded and appropriate corrections were applied for neutron and gamma-ray attenuation, for electronic dead time, and for detector efficiency.
