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 computer program for evaluating the poloidal distribution of the neutron wall loading (NWL) in toroidal fusion reactors is developed using numerical integration for general plasma and wall shapes. The neutron source within the plasma could be uniform or could be described to properly represent the neutron density associated with the magnetic flux surfaces. The method and techniques used in NEWLIT are presented. A comparison with the Monte-Carlo code MCNP shows excellent agreement with substantial savings in computer time and required user time. To verify the validity of the NWL as calculated by NEWLIT, a detailed 3-D neutronics calculation was carried out for a representative tokamak reactor. The poloidal distribution of the important responses is compared to the NWL poloidal distribution.
