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.

Calculations have been carried out to determine the time dependence of the residual-photon dose rate inside an accelerator tunnel due to a 3-GeV proton beam located on the axis of an iron cylinder. The photon dose rate produced by the activation of the concrete tunnel wall is calculated and combined with the results from a previous calculation for the dose rate contributed by the iron to obtain the total photon dose rate inside the tunnel. The effectiveness of lowering the total photon dose rate by reducing the 24Na production in the concrete is evaluated. The development of the nucleon-meson cascade, the residual nuclei production, and the photon transport are calculated using Monte Carlo methods.
