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.

Tritium production-rate (TPR) distributions were measured in a Li2O slab assembly using the FNS. The size of assembly was 31.5 cm in equivalent radius and 61.0 cm in thickness. Enriched 6Li and 7Li sintered pellets of Li2O were adopted to measure the TPRs of 6Li and 7Li, separately. After irradiated pellets were treated chemically, tritium produced in the pellets was measured by a liquid scintillation counting system. Measured TPR distributions have been analyzed by using the three transport codes, DOT3.5, MORSE-DD and BERMUDA-2DN with ENDF/B-4 and JENDL-3PR1 nuclear data files. The JENDL-3PR1 improves the accuracy of calculated TPR very well for both 6Li and 7Li.
