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 total neutron cross sections have been measured and resonance parameters determined for 243Cm, 245 Cm, and 246Cm from 0.01 to 30 eV and for 244Cm up to 90 eV. A total thermal neutron cross section at 0.0253 eV was determined for 244Cm of 23 ± 3 b and 2900 ± 450 b for 245Cm. Resonance absorption integrals of 2345 ± 470 b for 243Cm, 605 ± 40 b for 244Cm and 897 ± 180 b for 245Cm were calculated from the resonance parameters.
