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.

The method of singular eigenfunction expansions is applied to the time-independent one-speed Milne problem in which there are two half-space media. It is assumed that scattering in each medium is at most linear in the cosine of the scattering angle; closed form expressions are then obtained for the expansion coefficients. Numerical results show the dependence upon the scattering parameters of the extrapolation distance and the discontinuities in the asymptotic densities and currents at the interface. These results give the proper boundary conditions to be applied when using diffusion theory in problems involving two or more plane layers which are thick as compared to the mean-free-paths of the media.
