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 Monte Carlo technique was developed for predicting the mode of energy transfer from fission fragments liberated within spherical solids to the fluid or neighboring particles in a slurry. Random location energy liberation for a large number of fissions within the solids and subsequent absorption was followed by means of a high-speed digital computer program. The fraction of recoil fragments and energy spectrum deposited in the fluid was characterized as a function of concentration and particle size of the solids.From ftom these results, a useful correlation equation was developed.
