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.

The temperature coefficient of the resonance integral for uranium metal and oxide has been measured over a wide temperature range for rods with different diameters. The activation method was used and the 106 kev γ ray following the N239 decay was measured with a pulse-height analyzer. The resonance integral has been expressed as a linear function of The following approximate relations have been found. , The results have been compared with calculated values published elsewhere. The experimental values lie lower than most theoretical ones, but in several cases there is agreement within the common limits of error.
