Radiabeam Technologies, LLC received a $1.4M cooperative agreement award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) under the Nuclear Energy Waste Transmutation Optimized Now (NEWTON) program to develop and demonstrate two types of superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities utilizing a novel niobium-tin material. The project, which commenced April 7, 2026 and is scheduled for completion by April 6, 2029, aims to create SRF cavity technologies designed to enable transmutation of all classes of used nuclear fuel isotopes while supporting reliable, high-availability particle generation for 10 megawatt proton linear accelerators. The proposed niobium-tin SRF cavities have significant potential to reduce both the frequency and duration of beam trips and operational costs compared to current systems deployed at facilities such as the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the Multi-Purpose Hybrid Research Reactor for High-Tech Applications (MYRRHA). Radiabeam Technologies, a small business specializing in advanced particle accelerator components and systems, will conduct this research and development work at its Santa Monica, California facility. The cooperative agreement aligns with ARPA-E's mandate under CFDA 81.135 to support high-potential, high-impact energy technologies that address critical challenges in nuclear waste transmutation and advanced accelerator development, areas considered too early-stage for private-sector investment.Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary
