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-spectrum measurements in several moderators have been made with geometrical conditions approximating an infinite medium. The moderators studied were water, polyethylene and benzene, and the absorbers dispersed in the moderators were boron, samarium, erbium and gadolinium. The measurements are compared with predictions of the neutron spectra utilizing scattering models which take into consideration chemical binding. Measurements of scalar and angular neutron-energy spectra were made in a slab geometry water-moderated multiplying assembly at room temperature. The measured spectra are compared with DSN transport-theory calculations utilizing the Nelkin bound-hydrogen scattering model for water.
