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.

It has been observed in the past that the computer time required for the numerical solution of the transport equation has been almost prohibitive for many problems of interest. Results of a study designed to improve the convergence rate of the angular segmentation or Sn method are presented. Examples showing the effect of several different modifications of the standard Sn method are given. It is recommended that the incorporation of the modification discussed will significantly improve the convergence of the Sn method and permit an efficient solution of many problems related to thermal assemblies.
