First GAIN vouchers of 2025 go to Curio, Deep Fission, Kairos, and NuCube Energy
The Department of Energy’s Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) has awarded four fiscal year 2025 vouchers to support the development of advanced nuclear technologies. Each company will get access to specific capabilities and expertise in the DOE’s national laboratory complex—in this round of awards both Idaho National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are named—and will be responsible for a minimum 20 percent cost share, which can be an in-kind contribution.

The method of multinodal treatment of nuclear transition and spatial migration of radioactive materials in complex nuclear technological systems is described. The modeling of such processes is established in a very flexible way, enabling the user to investigate a wide range of problems related to nuclear safety, i.e., to predict the radioactive source term in normal operation and under accidental conditions of any nuclear plant. The migration of radioactive material can be connected either with the flow of reactor coolant or with any of the other physicochemical processes (filtration, deposition, etc.). On the basis of this method, a modular code system - TIBSO - has been developed.
