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.

The neutron spectra emitted from 2 and 4 mean-free-paths of concrete irradiated by 14-MeV neutrons have been measured between 14 and 2 MeV using the sphere transmission and time-of-flight techniques. The spectra have been calculated with the Monte Carlo neutron transport code TART using the ENDL Livermore neutron library and the ENDF/B-III neutron library. From the comparison between measurements and calculations, it was inferred that the nonelastic cross section for oxygen in the ENDL library was too large. A revision of the cross sections for 14- and 14.6-MeV neutrons was carried out and resulted in very good agreement between measurements and calculations.
