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.

Power spectral density measurements were conducted at the Sodium Reactor Experiments (SRE) over a wide range of frequencies and at various power levels. Use of magnetic tape recording and speedup techniques permitted rapid data analysis and excellent resolution. Results were compared with oscillation tests under identical operating conditions and were found to have the same resonance structure but higher amplitude at the resonance peaks and at low frequencies. Investigation resulted in the conclusion that the reactor fission or driving spectrum deviated from white noise at some low frequency.
