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.

An integral benchmark experiment on the Lithium Fluoride (LiF) material has been carried out in order to check the accuracy of neutronic design calculations. Experimental data of the tritium production rate and the radiation heating rate have been measured directly by each technique using Lithium Carbonate (Li2CO3) pellets and LiF thermo-luminescent dosimeters (LiF-TLDs), and indirectly by the multi-activation foil technique. The present accuracies of the neutronic calculations on the tritium breeding and the nuclear heating are discussed through comparing these benchmark data, where the two-dimensional transport code DOT 3.5 and the ENDF/B-IV cross-section library are applied as a typical example.
