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.

P1 blackness theory for infinite cylinders is developed in a manner analogous to the case of infinite slabs by defining effective diffusion theory cross sections in the “black” region which reproduce the desired boundary condition at the surface. Results of numerical analysis of a model problem are presented and the relative improvement of P1 blackness theory over normal P1 theory is compared with similar results for infinite slabs.
