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.

A set of elementary solutions to the energy-dependent Boltzmann equation, which was derived in the preceding paper, is shown to possess a half-range completeness property that allows the exact solution to energy-dependent half-space problems and the reduction of finite-slab problems to rapidly convergent Fredholm equations. Results follow in analogy with Case's work on the one-velocity transport equation, except that a system of singular integral equations is encountered, which gives rise to the Hilbert problem for matrices. It is shown that the methods of Muskhelishvili and Vekua are applicable to this matrix problem and lead to the consideration of a class of Fredholm equations to obtain the solution. The explicit form of the Fredholm equation for the present problem is derived by extending the analysis of the scalar Hilbert problem to the matrix case. Applications of the completeness proof are made to the albedo and Milne problems for a half space.
