The ANSF highlights several unique strengths that make Idaho an ideal location for advanced nuclear deployment. These include the expertise of the Idaho National Laboratory in nuclear research and development, educational partnerships with universities and community colleges to build a strong workforce pipeline for advanced nuclear careers, rich mineral resources such as thorium and uranium that can support next-generation nuclear fuel production, collaboration between industry and utilities to evaluate advanced nuclear as a long-term energy option to meet growing demand.
Furthermore, regional partnerships such as the Tri-State Nuclear Compact with Utah and Wyoming and the Intermountain-West Nuclear Energy Corridor strengthen Idaho's role in national energy leadership.
The framework also includes key policy recommendations such as establishing a State Energy Fund to support nuclear development and utilizing the new Strategic Permitting Efficiency and Economic Development (SPEED) Council to streamline energy project development.
