GAIN

The National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) to launch the Advanced Nuclear First Movers Initiative. The Initiative, directed by state energy offices, is led by state co-chairs New York, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Wyoming, and the participating states Louisiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
INL serves as the GAIN integrator for NE for a reason, said Jess Gehin, associate laboratory director for Nuclear Science and Technology at INL. “INL’s significant experience in leading nuclear energy R&D programs made it the ideal choice to head the GAIN initiative and work with other national laboratories on GAIN’s mission.”

GAIN was created in 2015 to “provide the nuclear community with a single point of access to the broad range of capabilities — people, facilities, materials and data — across the DOE complex and its national laboratory capabilities.”
