Galvanizing Advances in Market-Aligned Fusion for an Overabundance of Watts
The Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and Office of Science–Fusion Energy Sciences (SC-FES) are overseeing a joint program, Galvanizing Advances in Market-aligned fusion for an Overabundance of Watts (GAMOW). ARPA-E will contribute up to $15 million in funding over a three-year program period, and FES will contribute up to $5 million per year for three years for qualifying technologies. GAMOW will prioritize R&D in (1) technologies and subsystems between the fusion plasma and balance of plant, (2) cost-effective, high-efficiency, high-duty-cycle driver technologies, and (3) cross-cutting areas such as novel fusion materials and advanced and additive manufacturing for fusion-relevant materials and components. Applicants should leverage and build on foundational SC-FES research programs in fusion materials, fusion nuclear science, plasma-materials interactions, and other enabling technologies, while ensuring that market-aware techno-economic analyses inform project goals. Awardees must work toward one or more of the following high-level program objectives: Demonstrate substantial progress toward technical feasibility and/or increases in performance compared to the current state of the art in the priority R&D areas.Enable significant device simplification or elimination of entire subsystems of commercially motivated fusion energy systems.Reduce fusion energy system costs, including those of critical materials and component testing.Improve the reliability, safety, and/or environmental attractiveness of fusion energy systems.

… In June 2018, ARPA-E announced the Modeling-Enhanced Innovations Trailblazing Nuclear Energy Reinvigoration ( MEITNER ) program. As part of ARPA-E’s first fission nuclear energy program, MEITNER projects are developing new technologies to support lower cost, more flexible advanced nuclear reactors. Advanced nuclear reactors are a category unto themselves. All nuclear power …
ARPA-E understands MEITNER projects have particularly difficult work to execute, so the agency assembled the first-ever Resource Team to help projects test and validate their concepts. Resource Team members come from the Energy Department’s National Laboratories—one of largest scientific research enterprises in the world—to provide critical guidance and modeling resources that enable MEITNER teams to simulate the effectiveness of their ideas long before building real-world versions.
