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 Monte Carlo calculation of the spatial distribution of resonance neutron capture across a O.387-in. diameter gold rod is compared with the corresponding measured distribution, obtained by activating small gold foils stacked across a diameter of a cadmium covered gold rod. The difference between the Monte Carlo calculation and the measurement is attributed to relatively unshielded capture at energies above 250 ev, the starting energy for neutrons in the Monte Carlo calculation.
