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 conceptual designs of the supplemental heating systems for a tenth of a kind, commercial tandem mirror reactor have been developed. A high power ECRH system at 60GHz maintains the thermal barrier in each endcell and a second low power system at 71GHz increases the magnitude of the potential peak. The sloshing ion distribution in the plug is produced by a 475KeV negative ion neutral beam. An ICRH system provides a hot plasma in the anchor region for pressure weighting of the geodesic curvature, thus ensuring stability.
