The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP), launched in February, 2006, proposes to introduce used nuclear fuel recycling in the United States (U.S.) with improved proliferation-resistance and a more effective waste management approach. This program is evaluating ways to close the fuel cycle in a manner that introduces the most advanced technologies of today and builds on recent breakthroughs in U.S. national laboratories while drawing on international and industry partnerships.

On January 30, 2007, the Department of Energy awarded 11 grants to Community Organizations and private companies for the investigation of sites for two Global Energy Nuclear Partnership (GNEP) facilities. One of the 11 sites, the Eddy-Lea Energy Alliance (ELEA) site, is located in Lea County, New Mexico, about halfway between Carlsbad and Hobbs, New Mexico. This 1,000 plus acre site is centrally located in an area that is rapidly developing a reputation as New Mexico's "Nuclear Corridor".
