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 transfer and scattering matrix technique is used to solve one-dimensional, time-dependent, multigroup, discrete ordinates equations and those including the delayed-neutron equations. The solution is obtained in the frequency domain as a distributed parameter transfer function. This technique can accomodate anisotropic, spatially distributed extraneous sources and general anisotropic scattering. The numerical problems associated with the technique are analyzed, and a procedure is presented for controlling them. The results obtained with this technique are in good agreement with (a) statics results obtained from standard discrete ordinates calculations, and (b) experimental kinetics noise data obtained from a critical fast assembly. Calculated results of a simulated pulsed-neutron experiment on a subcritical fast assembly are presented.
