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 new approach to the chemical reprocessing of contaminated Th—U—O slurry-type reactor fuels is suggested which avoids the complete dissolution of the slurry particles. The method is based on the elution of adsorbed contaminants from specially treated surface of the slurry particles using hot dilute nitric acid. In particular, the adsorption and elution properties of this type of slurry with respect to 0.004 M cerium were determined.
