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 emission probabilities of delayed neutrons are reevaluated on the basis of recently determined fission yields. The accuracy of the probabilities for thermal and fast fission of 233U and 235U is examined by summation of the individual delayed-neutron yields of the precursors and by comparison with the unseparated group and directly measured total delayed-neutron yields. The good agreement of the results obtained by the two independent methods indicates that the derived probabilities are accurate enough for the calculation of delayed-neutr on yields for other fissioning systems and for reactor calculations.
