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.

This technical note describes the influence of the transients and corrective additives on the distribution of loosely bonded forms of solid-phase corrosion products between the equipment surfaces and the primary coolant of a naval reactor plant. It is shown that the concentration of loosely bonded corrosion products increases by tenfold during the transient, and the feeding of corrective additives allows a several-fold reduction in the rate of their resedimentation on the internal surfaces of equipment, and as a consequence, improvement of corrosion product removal efficiency by cleanup filters. The proposed solutions allow removal of up to 70% of loosely bonded corrosion products from the coolant using standard filters.
