The Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) announced today that two companies
will be provided a GAIN Nuclear Energy (NE) Voucher to accelerate the innovation and application
of advanced nuclear technologies. NE vouchers provide advanced nuclear technology innovators
with access to the extensive nuclear research capabilities and expertise available across the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory complex. This is the fourth and final award for FY
2023.
The businesses selected to receive a GAIN nuclear energy voucher for Round 4 FY 2023 are: Metatomic, Inc., Greenville, SC and NuScale Power LLC

The latest update to Third Way’s Advanced Nuclear Map reveals unprecedented growth and progress in a clean energy technology with tremendous potential. Thanks to consistent bipartisan support across multiple administrations—including clear endorsement by the Biden administration as a pillar of its clean energy strategy—the industry has not only expanded, but projects are closer to deployment and commercialization than ever before. Continued support for advanced nuclear will be critical to our economic, jobs, climate, geopolitical, and national security interests.

By the year 2050, we need to dramatically change the way we produce and consume energy if we are to achieve a number of key targets.

We must also consider the implications of those energy choices.

The GAIN Energy Calculator will allow state, local, and federal policy makers, students, researchers, and other interested stakeholders to visualize and model their policy changes and see real-world results based on validated science.

Where: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Bldg. 5200. Tennessee Room A-C
5200, 1 Bethel Valley Road
OakRidge, TN 37830

The workshop will again be held as a hybrid two-day event at Oak Ridge National Laboratory Conference Center. Virtual participants will be able to view the workshop through Zoom. Approximately 400 people attended last year’s workshop and we anticipate even greater interest this year. Onsite participation is limited to approximately 250 people and we encourage registering early.
• Non-US nationals must provide additional information to register for either in-person or virtual participation. The additional information (detailed CV, passport, and visa information) must be provided via the ORNL Guest Information System. Instructions will be sent to foreign nationals after their registration request is received by the conference contact. The deadline for foreign nationals to provide all information is September 7.
• For US nationals, the deadline for registration is October 12.

To expand participation opportunities, we are excited to include two “lightning talk” sessions as well as a poster session.
• The lightning talk sessions provide 7 minute timeslots for technology updates. There will be approximately 7 slots on the first day focused on R&D updates and 6 slots on the second day for industry technical updates.
• Expanding on last year’s student poster session, we will be opening the poster session to broad participation.
With the high level of expressed interest, we anticipate spots will quickly fill up. Please visit the MSR Workshop website to submit a request to participate in the lightning talk or poster sessions.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking feedback on two draft requests for proposals (RFPs) to acquire high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU)—a crucial material needed to develop and deploy advanced reactors in the United States.

The first draft RFP focuses on acquiring services for production of HALEU material. The second focuses on deconversion activities to convert enriched uranium hexafluoride gas into metal or oxide forms used to fabricate fuels needed by various advanced reactor developers.

DOE is looking for feedback on the draft solicitations, including the goals, scope, and selection criteria. DOE will use that feedback to inform the final RFPs to be issued later this year. The draft RFPs are open for public comment until July 6.

​Ten projects selected to accelerate current and advanced nuclear reactor demonstrations and deployments  

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today awarded $22.1 million to 10 industry-led projects, including two aimed at expanding clean hydrogen production with nuclear energy and one focused on bringing a microreactor design closer to deployment. The other projects intend to tackle nuclear regulatory hurdles, improve operations of existing reactors, and facilitate new advanced reactor developments. Each of these projects will help advance nuclear technology and ensure nuclear power continues to play a crucial role in meeting President Biden’s emission reduction and climate change goals.
