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.

As part of the GA-funded TFCX proposal effort, a method was developed and implemented to make fast, repetitive calculations of fusion reactor shutdown dose rates for several operating and shutdown times. The ONEDANT discrete ordinates code is used as the transport code in this procedure. Examples of parametric study results using this method are given. The method is currently being used in tokamak ignition studies at GA.
