Boise, Idaho ~ Boise, Idaho - Governor Brad Little has announced that the State of Idaho has officially submitted its response to the U.S. Department of Energy's Request for Information (RFI) regarding the potential hosting of Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. This new federal initiative aims to modernize the nation's full nuclear fuel cycle and strengthen America's leadership in advanced nuclear energy.

According to Governor Little, this opportunity would further solidify Idaho's position as a leader in nuclear innovation. He stated, "Idaho is prepared to continue our tradition of nuclear excellence and build on the foundation that has already made our state great." The governor also emphasized the potential benefits for Idaho families, including access to affordable and clean energy for years to come.

The selected states will serve as central hubs for advanced nuclear development, providing economic growth and expanding access to reliable baseload power. If chosen, Idaho would be at the forefront of next-generation nuclear technologies.
