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 preliminary comparative neutronics study showed that there are large discrepancies in the 6Li(n,α)T and 7Li(n,n′α)T reaction rates calculated for top-ranking fusion blanket concepts with the JEF-1- and ENDF/B-V-based nuclear data libraries. Detailed analysis is necessary and data testing integral experiments should be employed to identify the deficiencies in these nuclear data evaluations.
