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.

The Mirror Advanced Reactor Study (Mars) considers two blanket designs: A high temperature helium (1000°C) and lead lithium cooled blanket for synthetic fuels production as well as a simplier lead lithium cooled blanket for electrical power production. These blankets employ fundamentally different maintenance concepts for yearly replacement. A method for replacing this synfuel blanket has been developed and time of removal estimated, Methods for blanket disassembly and preparation for off-site shipment have also been developed and are presented.
