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.

Neutron capture and transmission measurements were made on a sample of fission product palladium. The level parameters were obtained for 34 107Pd resonances below 700 eV. The observed average level spacing was 〈D〉 = (10.7 ± 1.5) eV, and the s-wave neutron strength function was determined to be 104 S0 = . The capture width Γγ for the 6.834-eV 107Pd resonance was deduced to be (125 ± 15) meV. Assuming that all 107Pd resonances have the same radiation width as the 6.834-eV resonance, the resonance capture integral for all 34 resonances is 87 b.
