Funding will help states, grid operators, and large electricity customers accommodate electricity demand driven by data centers, AI, and Domestic Manufacturing.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Grid Deployment Office is investing up to $28 million through the Collaborations Advancing Rapid Load Additions (CARLA) Program to accelerate deployment of critical infrastructure that supports significant electricity demand driven by data center expansion and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, domestic manufacturing growth, and electrification. Administered by ConnectWerx, CARLA will help rapidly build grid capacity that can accommodate significant near-term electricity demand growth.
Proposals for the FY 2025 2nd Round GAIN NE Vouchers are due by 5:00 pm EST on Friday, January 31, 2025.
Please note for the second round of FY 2025 proposals, there are funding and scope limits for voucher applications.
NuCube will partner with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to receive assistance in computational analysis of the heat exchanger design. INL has developed a code to optimize high temperature heat exchangers for both installation and operating costs and has validated that code for conventional shell and tube heat exchangers. This analysis will allow NuCube to assess the performance of the heat exchanger and support an optimized design prior to finalization of the detailed design and fabrication to support a demonstration project.

Curio will partner with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to conduct an analysis of the NuCycle® flowsheet that will allow the generation of quantities and classification of anticipated waste streams and recommendations on waste forms most suitable to sequestering the generated waste streams. Results of the project would be used to determine the approach to managing waste from a pilot demonstration of NuCycle® to be performed in 2027.

Kairos will partner with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to extend measurements of dissolved oxygen and corrosion products in FLiBe to the full range of relevant/significant impurities, as well as incorporating the measurement methods into their quality assurance program/practices. Refinement of analytical methods for species in salt that impact system operation will enable Kairos to continue along the aggressive timeline for near term nuclear demonstration and commercial deployment.

Deep Fission will partner with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to enhance its thermal hydraulics infrastructure using RELAP5-3D modeling. INL has unique expertise in developing thermomechanical and thermos-hydro-mechanical models in deep geological repositories for used nuclear fuel and geothermal applications involving deep hole drilling and heat extraction.
December 19, 2024 – The Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) announced today that four companies will be provided vouchers to advance nuclear fuel and technologies. The vouchers provide companies access to the extensive nuclear research capabilities and expertise available across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory complex. This is the first round of GAIN vouchers awarded for FY 2025.
