AREVA Enrichment Services submitted a license application in December 2008 to construct and operate a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment plant in Bonneville County, Idaho.
The NRC staff completed its safety and environmental reviews, publishing a Safety Evaluation Report in September 2010 and a Final Environmental Impact Statement in February 2011. The ASLB conducted hearings on the safety review in January. Information on the application and the NRC review is available on the NRC website.
