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 possibility of burn control by hydrogen feeding was investigated for tokamak plasma under a self-sustained condition. When fusion power shifts higher than a target value, increases in hydrogen feed rate can lower the power by a reduction in ion temperature due to enhanced hydrogen density. Conversely, when the power shifts lower than the target, stopping hydrogen feeding and exhaust can increase the power through an increase in ion temperature due to reduced hydrogen density. Especially in the latter, in order to enlarge the recoverable magnitude of power shift, it is necessary to select a self-sustained condition having the highest hydrogen density. The results confirmed the possibility of burn control by hydrogen feeding.
