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.
Uranium Chemistry Tutorial
January 19, 2021|10:30AM–12:00PM (11:30AM–1:00PM EST)
Available to 2020 ANS Virtual Winter Meeting Attendees
ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.
This is part seven of a nine-part tutorial series exclusively available to 2020 ANS Winter Meeting attendees.
The 1978 accidental nuclear criticality incident at the Idaho Chemical Processing Facility will be reviewed. The chemistry failure that led to a buildup of enriched uranium that exceeded safety limits will be explained and causes discussed.
Uranium Processing Chemistry for Large Scale Reprocessing is a suggested prerequisite for understanding this incident.
