Alliance Questions NRC’s OK of Idaho Uranium Factory Announcement No Surprise, but Need for Enrichment Plant Still Unproven
The federal government continued its unflinching support of a French-owned uranium enrichment factory outside of Idaho Falls Wednesday, but the Snake River Alliance expressed doubt that the plant will be built because the company is on shaky financial footing and because the market for more enriched uranium has collapsed along with the so-called “nuclear renaissance.”

Join the Snake River Alliance for a night of good food, great company, and a new presentation on radioactive waste and cleanup at the Idaho National Lab. With Idaho in the news as a potential interim storage site for new commercial radioactive waste, it is a critical time to learn about what waste is already here. Find out what’s happening with 750,000 barrels of plutonium-contaminated waste dumped in unlined pits and trenches a...bove the Snake River Aquifer. Get an update on liquid high-level waste. The Alliance works diligently to monitor current clean-up efforts and to make sure the public is aware of Department of Energy’s environmental hazards. Our Fall Member Dinner will feature an informative and timely presentation by our nuclear program director, Beatrice Brailsford, who has worked for the Alliance for nearly 25 years. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about what sits above Idaho’s drinking water.
RSVP for Boise: 344-9161
RSVP for Pocatello: 233-7212

Oct. 4 Idaho Energy Update: New Utility Coal Report, Rate Cases & Idaho Energy Plan Revisions
By lwoodruff @ 12:52 PM :: 130 Views ::

The Snake River Alliance has released the first of two reports on the use of coal-fired generation by Idaho’s three electric utilities, and in a related development Idaho Power has notified the Idaho Public Utilities Commission of the planned early decommissioning of the Boardman coal plant in Oregon, of which Idaho Power is a 10 percent owner. On the regulatory front, parties in Idaho Power’s big 2011 rate case have reached a settlement agreement, but the public will have a chance to weigh in before the PUC decides whether to accept the deal. Meanwhile, Avista’s electric rates and the rates charged by Intermountain Gas will both decline following PUC review of their cases. And the Legislature’s Interim Energy Committee will soon receive draft revisions to the 2007 Idaho Energy Plan, and when it does it will post the plan for public review and comment.
