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.

A method of solving the time-energy dependent problem in reactor physics is explained. This method uses an iterative process to solve the steady-state Boltzmann equation and takes advantage of the implicit time variable concealed in this equation and released by the iterative calculations. Various examples of calculations are presented for fast and thermal reactors. They reveal some interesting features of kinetics neutron population and provide information for understanding reactor kinetics and time-of-flight spectra obtained both in fast and thermal subcritical systems.
