Areva will not be building a $2 billion uranium enrichment facility in Richland, instead picking a site close to the Idaho National Laboratory, Areva announced today. “While we had several attractive sites to choose from, we opted for Idaho Falls, which has strong ties to nuclear energy, and which welcomed Areva and its proposed enrichment facility to become a new member of its community,” said Michael Murphy, president of Areva, in a statement.
