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 ATHENA code is being developed by EG&G Idaho as a general purpose thermal hydraulics code for safety transient analysis of fusion reactors. This report documents the use of ATHENA to model a lithium-lead cooled fusion reactor design. The code models the MHD effects resulting from the flow of a conducting fluid through a strong steady magnetic field. The code performed well within the range of available lithium-lead properties. The results from calculations of several operational transients and a loss of pumping power are reported.
