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.

Requirements and design characteristics of the heating and current drive systems for KSTAR (Korean Super conducting Tokamak Advanced Research)1,2 tokamak are described. The neutral beam (NB), the ion cyclotron (IC), lower hybrid (LH) and electron cyclotron (EC) heating systems provide heating as well as current drive capability for long pulse lengths of up to 300 s. The systems are designed to provide flexibility in the control of current density and pressure profiles for the study of advanced tokamak plasmas.
