The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has officially recongnized AEHI's proposal to build a nuclear power plant in Payette County, Idaho.
"This is something we've been waiting for the NRC to do for quite sometime," said Don Gillispie, CEO of AEHI, "Until now the agency has had our Idaho project site listed in Hammett, which has needed correcting for several months."
AEHI's listing with the NRC can be viewed on the agency's list of "New Reactor Licensing Applications", which can be found on the NRC website at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/new-licensing-files/new-rx-licensing-app-legend.pdf.

Employment opportunities also remain a high point. An estimated 5,000 jobs will be created through the construction process, and more than a thousand positions will be made available through operations, with average pay hovering around $80,000 a year.
