ARPA-E News Alert: October 2, 2019 View this email in your browser   Like on Facebook        Follow on Twitter   ARPA-E Announces New Funding Opportunity to Develop Tools to Improve Advanced Nuclear Reactor Design ARPA-E today issued a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) of up to $35 million in funding for a new program, Generating Electricity Managed by Intelligent Nuclear Assets (GEMINA). GEMINA projects will develop tools and systems to enable more flexible, less costly nuclear power plants.  The GEMINA program will develop digital twin technology for advanced nuclear reactors, using artificial intelligence and advanced modeling controls to create tools that introduce greater flexibility in nuclear reactor systems, increased autonomy in operations, and faster design iteration. The development of these digital twins will work towards a goal to contribute to a 10x reduction in operating and management (O&M) costs at advanced reactor power plants. For more information on ARPA-E's GEMINA program, click here. The deadline to submit a concept paper for GEMINI is 9:30 a.m. ET on November 13, 2019. Additional information, including the full FOA and how to find project teaming partners, is available on ARPA-E's online application portal, ARPA-E eXCHANGE.  Upcoming Dates & Deadlines     Additional information is available on ARPA-E's online application portal, ARPA-E eXCHANGE.
