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.

The 3He release from partially loaded uranium tritide samples with varying isotope compositions has been monitored over a 6.7 year period. A normalizing treatment for the 3He released that allows the data to converge to a common trend is discussed. The samples exhibited an early release proportion of ca 5% and an onset of accelerated release at ca 0.24 He/U. It is concluded that 3He is only accumulated within the uranium that reacted during loading and the presence of hydrogen and deuterium influences 3He release.
