Under a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) under CFDA 81.135, the Department of Energy and Mainstream Engineering Corporation are jointly developing a 1/10th scale prototype of an off-gas management system for nuclear fuel reprocessing. This project represents early-stage energy technology development aligned with ARPA-E's mission to advance high-potential, high-impact technologies too nascent for private-sector investment. The cooperative structure enables collaborative work between the federal agency and the awardee in advancing nuclear waste management innovation within the energy sector. The award totals $1,199,765 and was obligated on January 7, 2028, with an ultimate completion date of January 7, 2028. Performance of the work is located in Rockledge, Florida. Mainstream Engineering Corporation, a small business research and manufacturing firm with established expertise in thermal-control components, environmental systems, and energy-conversion devices, brings relevant technical capabilities to prototype development and systems engineering for this nuclear fuel cycle application.Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary
