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 extending moments method calculations for monoenergetic, point isotropic gamma ray sources to depths of approximately 50 mean-free-paths is described. Sample calculations are given for water and aluminum. A method of error analysis recently developed by Spencer suggests that for the range from 10 to ∼50 mean-free-paths, the errors associated with the reconstruction of the flux from moments are generally <1%. Comparisons are made between the asymptotic, deep penetration trend of the calculated results and the trend predicted by a theory developed by Fano.
