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.

The fictitious scattering radiation transport model, suitable for Monte Carlo applications in geometrically complex systems, has been extended for use in deep-penetration calculations by the development of an appropriate next-flight estimator. Mathematical derivations are given, and it is shown that the estimation scheme is actually a one-dimensional version of the general model. Sample problems are solved to illustrate the use of the next-flight estimator, its variance characteristics, and the time-saving features of the model. Other items discussed are coupling techniques with standard methods, systems with large cross sections, and inclusion of the fictitious scattering model in multigroup cross-section structure.
