Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

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.

The behaviour of the fast ion population is one of the crucial issues of the GDT based neutron generator project proposed by the Budker Institute Novosibirsk. Therefore, the study of the fast ion dynamics is one of the main research objectives at the GDT facility. This research is supported by computational investigations by means of codes that have been specially developed. The present paper briefly describes the fast ion code, demonstrates the capabilities of a fast ion and neutral gas code package and draws computational and physical conclusions from calculations of recent experiments.
