General Matter to build Kentucky enrichment plant under DOE lease
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced it has signed a lease with General Matter for the reuse of a 100-acre parcel of federal land at the former Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Kentucky for a new private-sector domestic uranium enrichment facility.

Decomposition of the energy-dependent neutron transport equation in plane geometry into simpler coupled one-speed and slowing down equations offers a relatively simple way of approximately solving the transport problem. This paper demonstrates how this decomposition can be made and illustrates the solution of the transport equation in the TPN approximation. Using the methods developed, the infinite medium Green’s function and albedo problems are solved in the age diffusion approximation.
