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 Korean HCSB (Helium Cooled Solid Breeder) TBM (Test Blanket Module), whose breeding zone is composed of lithium ceramic, beryllium and graphite in pebble form, was designed based on LOCAL assumption. In this research, we establish a simple preliminary GLOBAL neutronics model for the Korean HCSB TBM and perform neutronics analyses including depletion (transmutation) calculation during 500EFPDs (Effective Full Power Days) using the modified MONTEBURNS code. The neutronics characteristics for D-D plasma phase are investigated in the preliminary GLOBAL neutronics model, and the results are compared with those of D-T plasma phase. Moreover, we also establish the A-lite based GLOBAL neutronics model for more reliable neutronics calculation, and the results are compared with each other.
