Governor Brad Little has signed an executive order at the Idaho National Laboratory, ensuring Idaho remains at the forefront of nuclear innovation. The Governor’s Executive Order 2025-06 establishes the Idaho Advanced Nuclear Energy Task Force.
In a press release, Little says the executive order refreshes efforts and empowers a new group of leaders dedicated to ensuring Idaho continues to lead the way in nuclear innovation, energy security, and economic growth.
The Governor’s announcement came during the Western Governors’ Association’s first workshop of Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s WGA Chair initiative, “Energy Superabundance: Unlocking Prosperity in the West.”
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin also attended events in Idaho yesterday (Mon) to celebrate ways they say the Trump administration is opening up new paths to America’s energy dominance.
The new task force replaces the Leadership in Nuclear Energy Commission.
