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.

Calculations taking into account the influence of grain structure on the effective resonance integral of high-temperature reactor fuel assemblies caused by the use of coated particles are checked by measurements of such fuel assemblies with a lead spectrometer. The effect is quite remarkable and can be clearly seen from the measurements. Calculations show good agreement with our measurements.
