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.

Gamma-ray spectra from the radioactive decay of 140Ba and 140La were observed by Ge(Li) spectroscopy. Gamma-ray energies were found to be consistent with literature values, but several of the observed gamma rays were found to have intensities differing significantly from those previously reported. Absolute intensities of prominent gamma rays emitted in the radioactive decay of 140Ba and 140La have been measured. The 12.8-day 140Ba activity was produced by 14.8-MeV neutron fission of 238U followed by radiochemical separation and purification.
