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 unique nuclear shield design for a high beta ignited tokamak has been completed. Maximum advantage is taken of the shielding properties of the vacuum vessel and coil structures with the remaining space being filled with bulk shielding. The basic unit is an aluminum-bronze casting with integrally cast stainless steel coolant tubes. Each module is fitted for the particular zone around the vessel. The modules are sized to minimize the decay time of induced eddy currents and, for this reason, are insulated from one another. Lifting holes are cast-in as are offsets and alignment pins. Using vertical lifts, this permits easy removal for access to components buried in the shielded zones.
