GAIN vouchers go to Constellation, Nano Nuclear, and NuCube
The Department of Energy’s Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) has awarded three fiscal year 2026 vouchers to support the development of advanced nuclear technologies. Each company will get access to specific capabilities and expertise in the DOE’s national laboratory complex—in this round of awards both Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory are named—and will be responsible for a minimum 20 percent cost share, which can be an in-kind contribution.

The systems of charge-exchange spectroscopy (CXS) have been improved on the Large Helical Device (LHD). Pitch-controlled fiber bundles give faster readout time, and double-slit fiber bundles increase the number of channels that can be obtained with a single charge-coupled device detector. The evolutions of ion temperature with a sampling time of 10 ms are obtained, and profiles of ion temperature, toroidal rotation velocity, and density of carbon impurity with data at 51 spatial points are measured with the improved CXS systems.
