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 study of the extrusion and fabrication characteristics of various titanium-enriched boron dispersions indicate that hot extrusion of uncompacted powders is a feasible method for producing these materials. Tensile and impact properties of dispersions containing 2.43, 3.4, and 3.8 w/o B10 show a decrease with increasing B10 concentration. Irradiation studies on these materials revealed that internal cracking results after thermal neutron exposures of approximately 4.6 × 1020 nvt and higher. Tensile properties of the dispersions were related directly to the exposure and resulting structure, however, no correlation was found between exposure and impact properties of these materials.
