The Idaho Energy Complex is a proposed $4.5 billion nuclear/biofuels complex near Mountain Home, Idaho. 1,400 acres have been dedicated to this project, which will provide enough electricity to power all of Idaho, as well as generate income through the sale of power out of state. The facility will feature a new ‘dry’ nuclear reactor design – meaning that it does not require large amounts of water piped in for cooling purposes like some of the wet designs in the eastern US. Additionally, this plant will use its excess heat to produce biofuels such as ethanol, thereby further reducing its cooling requirements and giving local farmers a market for their crops and agricultural waste (dependent on market demand).

International Reactors, Inc. (IRI) is a corporation formed to assist developing countries with power generation, as well as the production of potable water. Founded in November 2007, IRI seeks to construct commercial nuclear reactors on oceanfront sites, particularly in Latin America and western-friendly Middle Eastern countries, in order to co-generate clean energy and desalinated water. IRI recognizes the growing need for reliable, affordable electricity in underdeveloped nations, and the company believes that the technology of advanced nuclear plants can be used to address these energy needs while simultaneously producing fresh water from these plants’ ocean intake.
