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.

Measurements of the spectra of delayed neutrons from the thermal fission of 235U are reported over the energy range 30 to 1500 keV. The resolution is sufficient to identify locations of peaks in the spectra. Spectra for three different count-irradiation cycles are reported with the shortest representing a near equilibrium spectrum for delayed neutrons from 235U. Comparisons with existing data show relatively good agreement to the spectral peaks. A correction for the shield of the detector is introduced and applied to the current and previous work with reasonable results. In general, the new spectra are softer than previously reported and show more detailed structure.
