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.

Physical features and possible applications of the trap with rotating plasma are considered. Rotating plasma can be formed by the axis symmetric magnetic trap with radial electrical field. Experimental results on hot hydrogen rotating plasma carried out at the PSP-2 device are briefly described. Rotating plasma with heavy ions is formed by means of cathode sputtering by ion bombardment and further ionization of sputtered atoms by plasma inside the trap. The sources of multicomponent atomic fluxes and plasma flow based on the trap with rotating heavy ion plasma and their applications are considered and discussed. The fan intensive fluxes of accelerated atoms can be used for surface treatment. The another source creates the dense plasma flow leaving out along the magnetic field axis. Sources of such type can be used for space engines and plasma separation process devices by the plasma ICRH method.
