Financial Assistance Funding Opportunity Announcement-U.S. Department of Energy/Idaho Operations Office-Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) Siting Studies

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID), is seeking applications from eligible entities to perform detailed siting studies. These studies will describe prospective locations to host one or both anticipated Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) facilities. Information obtained from these studies, along with other relevant information, will be used to support the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will evaluate reasonable siting alternatives for the<br/>anticipated GNEP facilities. Selection of an application for award does not guarantee that the site will be evaluated in detail in the EIS, only that it will be considered for further evaluation. In<br/>addition, there may be other sites considered besides those for which applications are being submitted under this announcement. In the EIS, DOE intends to evaluate certain DOE sites as potential locations for the anticipated GNEP facilities. Selection for award under this announcement in no way guarantees that a proposed site will host a GNEP facility.
