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.

It is possible to derive a correction to the mean chord length used in the Wigner Rational Approximation which 1) gives a better estimate of the escape probability 2) preserves the equivalence relationship for each resonance 3) preserves the value of the resonance integral. Various methods of achieving objectives 1 and 2 have been discussed previously. It is shown in this paper that employing criterion 3 dictates an averaging procedure similar to earlier ones but involving different weighting points. A table of weighting points is given.
