The US Navy may choose facilities in eastern Idaho for its two nuclear projects, known as the naval nuclear propulsion programme.

The US Navy plans to rehabilitate the facilities that already exist in Idaho so that it can be used to handle used nuclear fuel from the navy’s fleet.

Three public hearings will be held in eastern Idaho to factor in stakeholders’ concerns of potential environmental hazards from the projects before starting construction.
