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 halo plasma scraper for a tandem mirror reactor collects the particles and power that enter the halo in the central cell. A thermal-structural design is presented for a water-cooled copper collector that sustains 40 MW loading. A vacuum system design is presented for a conductance channel and pump configuration to remove the halo particles at a designated gas pressure.
