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.

Neutrons of 0.05-eV energy were inelastically scattered from samples of water. The experiment was arranged so that a correction could be made for multiple scattering and so that the observed scattering law would be measured at momentum change ℏκ smaller than obtained in previous experiments. From the data, it is concluded that 1) at these low κ values the scattering law at fixed β is proportional to κ as predicted by the McMurry-Russell model but by no other models, 2) discrete transitions are no more distinct at these smaller κ's than at larger κ's contrary to the predictions of the McMurry-Russell model, and 3) multiple scattering is important but not as large as predicted and that experimental corrections for it can be made.
