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.

Cross sections for the production of gamma rays by bombardment with 14.2-MeV neutrons were measured for 20 samples ranging from beryllium to plutonium. Differential cross sections are given as a function of gamma-ray energy over the region from 0.2 to 9.0 MeV for angles between the incident neutrons and emitted photons of 90 to 130 deg. For some of the light elements, cross sections are also presented for individual gamma rays. Pulsed-beam neutron time-of-flight techniques were employed to reduce background effects in the large NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometer.
