INL’s Teton supercomputer open for business
Idaho National Laboratory has brought its newest high‑performance supercomputer, named Teton, online and made it available to users through the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Science User Facilities program. The system, now the flagship machine in the lab’s Collaborative Computing Center, quadruples INL’s total computing capacity and enters service as the 85th fastest supercomputer in the world.

The Hanbit mirror device has been renovated as Multi-Purpose Plasma (MP2) facility for the divertor plasma simulation, space propulsion, and astrophysical researches. The intensity ratios of He I emission lines are used to determine electron density and temperature in MP2. The He I line ratios are measured by optical emission spectroscopy and are calculated using the collisional-radiative equilibrium model. The measured He I line ratios are 706.52 nm / 728.13 nm for electron temperature and 728.13 nm / 667.82 nm for electron density determination, respectively. The results obtained from the collisional-radiative equilibrium model are crosschecked with those of electrical probe measurement.
