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.

Particle simulation codes are useful for calculating the dynamics of systems of charged particles in magnetic fields. These codes can integrate ion and electron trajectories in applied or self-consistent electromagnetic fields. The codes have application to several areas of fusion reactor design, including plasma dynamic questions in the reactor plasma as well as in the design of devices for plasma heating. The central themes of plasma simulation, as well as several applications, are described.
