The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a Cooperative Agreement valued at $2.805 million to Transmutex U.S.A., Inc. on January 1, 2027, under the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy program (CFDA 81.135).

Transmutex will develop a highly reliable ion source—the critical device producing protons for particle accelerators—by enhancing existing commercial technology through innovative engineering. The work modifies a commercial ion source to achieve unprecedented reliability required for efficient operation of accelerator systems supporting nuclear energy waste transmutation. Los Alamos National Laboratory, New York-based VIAM Inc., and the University of Maryland's Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering serve as partners contributing to the effort.

Performance occurs at Hudson Street, New York, with a period of performance extending through December 31, 2029.
