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 REDEP computer-code-analysis has been performed for the transport, ionization, and redeposition of physically sputtered material in the boundary regions of the FED/INTOR tokamak. The analysis was performed for TiC as a candidate coating material for the bottom limiter and the divertor plate. This analysis provides the first assessment of the influence of preferential sputtering of TiC on sputter erosion and redeposition. The results indicate that at high edge temperatures, the different transport properties of the constituents causes significant differences in both the erosion and redeposition rates for the elemental constituents carbon and titanium. At low plasma edge temperatures, ≲ 50 eV, TiC is marginally acceptable, having a high gross erosion rate but a fairly low net rate.
