Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear
2017 Fall MRS Meeting
The Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) was established in 2015 to provide the nuclear community with access to the technical, regulatory, and financial support necessary to move innovative nuclear energy technologies toward commercialization while ensuring the continued safe, reliable, and economic operation of the existing nuclear fleet. GAIN fosters strategic public and private partnerships between national laboratories, technology developers and regulators to accelerate the transformation of advanced nuclear technologies into our clean energy future.
Technology developers can access world-class nuclear research resources, capabilities and expertise found throughout the U.S. Department of Energy's national laboratory system. GAIN provides the framework for encouraging an innovation culture for advanced nuclear technologies being developed to meet diverse energy needs.
