Third Way - Nuclear Reimagined
Through GAIN, DOE is making its state-of-the-art and continuously improving RD&D infrastructure available to stakeholders to achieve faster and cost-effective development of innovative nuclear energy technologies toward commercial readiness. The capabilities accessible through GAIN include:
Experimental capabilities with primary emphasis on nuclear and radiological facilities but also including other testing capabilities (e.g., thermal-hydraulic loops, control systems testing, etc.).
Computational capabilities along with state-of-the-art modeling and simulation tools.
Information and data through a knowledge and validation center.
Intellectual capabilities (e.g., project management, economic analysis, technology road mapping, seismic analysis, regulatory planning, etc.).
Land use and site information for demonstration facilities.
DOE National Laboratory Capabilities
Argonne National Laboratory (ANL)
Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL) Facility
- The Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL) facility, established in 2010, is an intermediate-scale liquid metal experimental facility that provides purified R-grade sodium to various experimental test vessels to test components that are required to operate in a prototypical advanced reactor environment. Experiments conducted in METL significantly assist the development of advanced reactors.
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)
Idaho National Laboratory (INL)
High Temperature Test Laboratory (HTTL)
-
Idaho National Laboratory High Temperature Test Laboratory (HTTL) is revolutionizing nuclear instrumentation. The need for Advanced Nuclear technologies has been reinforced by recent carbon reduction goals by the ever growing demand of reliable energy.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
Transformational Challenge Reactor (TCR)
-
T
he TCR will demonstrate a revolutionary approach to deploying new nuclear power systems. By building and operating an additively manufactured microreactor, the ORNL program will explore solutions to the high costs and lengthy deployment timelines that threaten the future of nuclear energy - the country's largest source of carbon-free energy.

Lab Partnering Service
Connecting Investors with experts and resources for energy technologies.
The Lab partnering Service is a service of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Energy Investor Center. The service provides investors and other parties looking to advance energy innovation, a single location to connect with leading DOE national laboratory technical experts to quickly answer innovation questions, as well as discover opportunities for building partnerships. Our goal is to increase access to the information needed to make informed decisions.
