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.

Understanding and managing D retention in plasma facing components is essential for tritium safety in fusion reactors. Neutron irradiated and virgin low carbon arc cast (LCAC) Mo, as well as Mo foil samples with and without He pre-irradiation, were used to investigate D retention. D and He retention were investigated simultaneously in thermal desorption spectroscopy using a high resolution residual gas analyzer. Results show a significant increase in D retention with He pre-irradiation. Vacancies and vacancy clusters are found to retain D in LCAC samples, but neutron irradiated Mo retains more D in vacancy clusters.
