Nuclear Energy: Sense of Urgency Drives Technology Innovation

by

Technology developers recognize an urgent need to commercialize innovative nuclear concepts to meet energy demands. The U.S. technology leadership role is essential to meeting the nation’s energy, environmental and national security needs; this role will be achieved by resolving technical, cost, proliferation resistance and security barriers through research and development.

The Department of Energy established the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) to forge public-private partnerships and encourage innovation. GAIN provides technology developers with access to the technical, regulatory and financial support necessary to commercialize nuclear technologies while ensuring the reliable operation of the existing reactor fleet.
