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.

Size-dependent extrapolation distances for pulsed-neutron experiments in light-water, spherical, non-multiplying systems have been determined by calculating the buckling in the B-1, 30-group approximation corresponding to a given decay constant. The decay constants for spheres of various radii were taken from an earlier work which reported 30-group Sn calculations of decay constants as a function of system radius. The same 30-group, B-1 method was also used to calculate pulsed-neutron-decay constants as a function of buckling over a wide range of buckling. The static or poisoning experiment inverse-relaxation length, as a function of concentration of a one-over-v poison, was also computed in the same approximation. The resulting data were combined and fitted to yield values of the neutron-diffusion parameters
