INL’s new innovation incubator could link start-ups with an industry sponsor
Idaho National Laboratory is looking for a sponsor to invest $5 million–$10 million in a privately funded innovation incubator to support seed-stage start-ups working in nuclear energy, integrated energy systems, cybersecurity, or advanced materials. For their investment, the sponsor gets access to what INL calls “a turnkey source of cutting-edge American innovation.” Not only are technologies supported by the program “substantially de-risked” by going through technical review and development at a national laboratory, but the arrangement “adds credibility, goodwill, and visibility to the private sector sponsor’s investments,” according to INL.

Experimental data on the ambient and elevated temperature tensile and fracture toughness properties of unirradiated, thermally aged and neutron irradiated hot isostatic (HIP) and vacuum hot (VHP) pressed S-65 and S-200F beryllium grades are assessed with respect to the effects of material, test and irradiation variables. The limitations of the existing data are acknowledged and the additional investigations required to clarify some of the present uncertainties are summarised.
