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 probability table method, developed for Monte Carlo calculations in the region of unresolved neutron resonances, is demonstrated to be of general use in neutron transport studies since the Boltzmann equation involved can be derived and solved by analogy to multigroup methods. Since the resulting equations can be cast into a form identical to that of the multigroup equations, they can be solved by existing multigroup transport codes. From a set of probability tables and spatially independent, unshielded, neutron cross sections, the method yields correct selfshielding effects, such as equivalent, spatially dependent, multigroup cross sections. Extension of the method and the use of probability tables outside the unresolved region are discussed.
