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.

An experimental test of several equivalence relations for effective resonance integrals is obtained from measurements of U238 resonance escape probability for lattices of the TRX critical facility, and measurements of the U238 resonance integrals of isolated rods of UO2 and uranium metal. The TRX lattices were H2O-moderated and composed of cylindrical, aluminum-clad fuel rods of slightly enriched uranium metal or UO2. The measurements are in agreement with two forms of equivalence among lattice and isolated rod resonance integrals for a given fuel composition. The equivalence between resonance integrals for fuel rods of different compositions (IT and UO2) does not appear to be as good.
