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 age of fission neutrons to indium-resonance energy has been measured in AGOT graphite using the point-source technique. Corrections to the data arising from the following factors were investigated: (a) source and foil size, (b) finite dimensions of medium, (c) higher- and/or lower-energy activations, and (d) angular sensitivity of detector foils. The age was determined to be 307.8 ± 1.9 cm2; the fourth and sixth moments were 6.58 ± 0.05 × 106 cm4 and 3.84 ± 0.06 × 1010 cm6, respectively. These agree well with the values of 307.4 ± 1.0 cm2, 6.59 ± 0.06 × 106 cm4, and 4.01 ± 0.09 × 1010 cm6 obtained by Monte Carlo calculations.
