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.

Exact elementary functions for the value and first two lethargy derivatives of the collided neutron flux at source lethargy have been derived previously for a monoenergetic plane source in hydrogen, and the results have been used both to test calculational methods and to synthesize an elementary function for the entire spatially dependent slowing down distribution. In this Note, the exact elementary functions at source lethargy are generalized to allow: (a) any number and thicknesses of homogeneous slabs with faces parallel to the source plane, (b) each slab to be composed of any mixture of isotopes with arbitrary energy-dependent elastic scattering and absorption cross sections, and (c) any number of equally spaced cosine-weighted source planes.
