GAIN makes diverse selections for its third round of awards this year
The Department of Energy’s Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear has recently awarded four third-round fiscal year 2026 vouchers to support the development of innovative nuclear technologies. Each company will get access to specific capabilities and expertise in the DOE’s national laboratory complex—in this round of awards Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories are named—and will be responsible for a minimum 20 percent cost share, which can be an in-kind contribution.

A nucleonic analysis of the Engineering Test Facility vacuum pumping (VP) duct shield has been performed using a coupled Monte Carlo/discrete ordinates method. This method used Monte Carlo to determine internal and external boundary surface sources for subsequent use in discrete ordinates calculations of the neutron and gamma-ray transport through the shield. Confidence in both the coupled method and the results obtained through its use was provided through comparisons with three-dimensional Monte Carlo results. Calculations in the toroidal plasma chamber and the neutral beam injector duct, which were required prior to the VP duct shield calculations, are also described.
