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.

Be-copper alloy duplex structures are planed to be used as the structural material of the first wall for ITER. CuCr1Zr0.1 copper alloy is one of the prospective components of such structures. To ensure safety and to solve ecological problems concerning fusion reactor operation it is necessary to have estimations of tritium inventory in the copper alloy CuCr1Zr0.1 and in Be-copper alloy duplex structures.
In this work the results of the following experiments on determination of hydrogen permeation parameters are presented:
• Investigation of hydrogen permeation for beryllium-copper duplex structure. Experiments were carried out in the temperature range from 873 K to 1023 K, at input hydrogen pressures between 102 Pa and 103 Pa.
• Investigation of hydrogen permeation for copper alloy CuCr1Zr0.1 in the temperature range from 723 K to 973 K, at input pressures of hydrogen between 102 and 103 Pa and for samples with different thickness.
