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.

An experimental evaluation has been made of the Po-Be fast neutron absorbed dose albedos for concrete, water, and aluminum. By assuming neutrons are scattered isotropically in the center of mass system, a good fit to Plesset’s albedo theory was obtained. The values for the albedos were found to be 0.32 for aluminum and concrete, and 0.092 for water.
