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 newly developed calculational model for nucleus-nucleus collisions has been applied to obtain secondary-neutron spectra from 100-MeV/nucleon alpha particles incident on 12C and from 100-MeV/nucleon 12C incident on 12C. These data can be used in estimating shielding requirements for medium-energy heavy-ion machines. Also included is a comparison between a previous model used only for calculating secondary-particle spectra from alpha-particle nuclear reactions and the new, more general nucleus-nucleus collision model.
