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 formalism is developed to calculate the power noise transfer function for any kinetic model under the assumption that noise may originate in any or all loops of the system. Reactor kinetic equations are generalized to the macrostochastic equations satisfied by the pile noise. From these, the differential equations of the various correlation functions are determined and solved for the noise spectra. The case of a single feedback, one-delay group model is treated in detail.
