The three mineral-rich western states agreed to make their grids more resilient, build transmission lines together, and boost university research and private investment in energy.

Idaho and the U.S. Department of Energy have agreed to waive a 1995 nuclear agreement to allow research on spent nuclear fuel in East Idaho. The waiver will allow radioactive waste generated in another state to be sent to the Idaho National Lab, or INL, for study.

Officials with the state of Idaho and the U.S. Department of Energy have agreed to a waiver of the state’s 1995 nuclear waste settlement agreement, the two sides announced Tuesday.

The Trump administration wants to speed up data center construction to support the rise of the artificial intelligence industry.

The United State Department of Defense has broken ground in eastern Idaho in preparation to install and test the nation's first transportable nuclear reactor.

In the 1950, the U.S. was trying to develop a nuclear-powered engine that the Navy could use for submarines and aircraft carriers, and much of that work was done in the Idaho desert near Idaho Falls, at what would become the Naval Reactor Facility.

NuScale planned on building small modular reactors at the Idaho National Laboratory, but didn't have enough buyers to move forward.

As ambitious plans to deploy new nuclear technologies take shape around the Mountain West, a new poll shows Americans' support for nuclear energy is growing.

Dubbed E-RECOV, an electrochemical process pioneered at INL separates the recoverable elements without emissions. “The efficiency of the process is approximately 90-100%, meaning that the electrons that are put in are doing the job that we want them to do,” the lead researcher said.

The Pentagon has announced that a new nuclear design is going to be assembled in our region. It’s called Project Pele, and it aims to produce a mobile nuclear microreactor.
