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.

This report presents an extension of neutron spectra measurements with a fast chopper, previously described by Johansson et al. (1). As before, the investigation concerns spectra of neutrons scattered from various materials placed in the central vertical channel of the reactor R1. Special interest has been devoted to the epithermal region; in particular to the distortion of the spectrum caused by the fuel. For scatterers with heavy atoms it has thus been possible to observe “steps” in E ·Φ (E) at each one of the three lowest uranium resonances. The heights of these steps compare fairly well to calculations. The upper energy limit for the present measurements is about 10,000 ev. Some experiments using a heated scatterer have also been performed partly to check results published earlier.
