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 age of U235 fission neutrons to indium resonance energy has been measured in a number of lattices of Th-H2O and Th-Al-H2O and compared with theoretical calculations. As a check on the procedure similar measurements were made in pure water yielding a result of 27.0 ± 0.9 cm2. In addition, the ratio of the age of U233 fission neutrons to the age of U235 fission neutrons in water was found to be 0.948 ± 0.033.
