Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

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.

Different types of discharges both with magnetized ions and electrons and with only magnetized electrons can been generated at different macroscopic parameters of the trap with axial magnetic and radial electrical fields. These discharges can form atomic fluxes of gas and conducting materials with wide energy spectra which can be used for surface treatment. The use of magnetron discharge and heavy ion discharge for surface treatment is known. The investigations of the various discharges and generated atomic fluxes were carried out at the pulse SCF-device. The main parameters of generated atomic fluxes and operating features of the device at various discharges are considered. Experimental results of surface treatment by atomic fluxes at different operating modes of the device are presented.
