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 injection of two primary waves, with possibly different frequencies, into a plasma can result in strong nonlinear interactions if the additive or subtractive frequencies of the two waves is equal to the two-ion-hybrid or lower hybrid frequencies. The in situ generation of waves at the linear-resonant frequencies effectively constitutes an “internal antenna,“ which may alleviate the undesirable surface interactions and reflections resulting from the direct injection of waves at the linear-resonant frequencies into a plasma. It is shown that simultaneous fundamental, second-harmonic, and third-harmonic heating can be achieved in a fusion device by an appropriate choice of frequencies for the two primary waves.
