INL’s Teton supercomputer open for business
Idaho National Laboratory has brought its newest high‑performance supercomputer, named Teton, online and made it available to users through the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Science User Facilities program. The system, now the flagship machine in the lab’s Collaborative Computing Center, quadruples INL’s total computing capacity and enters service as the 85th fastest supercomputer in the world.

Single crystal tungsten samples with orientation (110) were irradiated in the Materials Irradiation Experiment with normal incidence 30 keV He+ at 900 aC. Samples were mechanically polished and then electropolished with a KOH solution before irradiation to 3×1017 to 6×1018 He+/cm2. With increasing fluence sample surface pore size increased from ~20 nm to more than 100 nm. Mass loss also increased with fluence to a maximum of 15 g/m2 lost for the highest fluence sample.
