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.

Two types of measurements of flux fine structure were performed in simple, plate, fast reactor cells. In the first type, studies were made of the rate at which the fine structure approached equilibrium when test cells were placed in an equivalent homogeneous medium. It was shown that caution must be exercised in applying an infinite plane model to the calculation of heterogeneity effects in plate cells of finite dimensions. In the second type of measurement, detailed activation distributions were measured in a series of cells as a basis for the evaluation of cross sections and calculational models.
