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.

Idaho's response was prepared in collaboration with the newly established Advanced Nuclear Energy Task Force, which was created by Executive Order in September 2025. The submission is supported by over a dozen letters from private industry leaders, as well as federal, state, and local officials. This widespread support highlights the momentum behind Idaho's proposal.
Cally Younger, Administrator of the Office of Energy Resources (OEMR) and member of the Advanced Nuclear Energy Task Force, expressed her confidence in Idaho's candidacy. "During a time of rising energy demand, there is no better place than Idaho to find new solutions for power generation," she said. Younger also highlighted Idaho's long history of successful partnerships with the Idaho National Lab and its status as home to the world's first power-generating nuclear reactor.
Idaho's response can be viewed on their website at https://nuclear.idaho.gov/.

With Idaho's strong candidacy and support from various stakeholders, the state is hopeful that the Department of Energy will recognize its historic nuclear leadership and choose it as a host for a Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus.
