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.

Very homogeneous microtextures of porous LiAlO2 have been prepared in a large range of porosity and elementary grain diameter in order to determine more easily the T2 diffusion coefficient in the solid and optimize the best microstructure for the blanket. From this large field of homogeneous microstructures, empirical equations describing the properties of these porous bodies have been deduced, as a function of porosity, grain diameter and temperature, for instance : ultra sound velocity, Young's modulus, ultimate compressive strength, creep, thermal shock and electrical conductivity.
