From AREVA Inc’s Press Release on May 6, 2008
AREVA Inc. announced today that it has selected the state of Idaho for its new U.S. uranium enrichment facility. The site is located in Bonneville County, 18 miles west of Idaho Falls, close to the Idaho National Laboratory site.
The selection was made after extensive technical, environmental and socio-economical analysis of several potential sites throughout the United States. “The United States needs more clean energy to support its economic growth. To enable us to meet those needs we have to expand our domestic nuclear infrastructure, secure our supply of enrichment services and reduce our reliance on foreign imports. This new enrichment plant is a critical part of this process,” said Michael Murphy, President of AREVA Inc.
The new state-of-the-art facility represents a multi-billion dollar investment that would create hundreds of high-skilled jobs during the construction and operation phases.
