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.

Measurements of independent fission product yields from thermal-neutron fission of 235U, 239Pu, 233U, and 241Pu have been compared with expected yields from a semiempirical analytical model. A general correlation between the experimental/theoretical ratio and the distance of the nuclide from Zp, the most probable charge in a fission product mass chain, has been constructed. This correlation can serve as a basis for assigning uncertainties to theoretical yield estimates.
