Legal and geographic scope
Governor's order establishing an advisory Idaho Advanced Nuclear Energy Task Force of no more than 20 members. The task force assesses, recommends and reports. It does not issue a license, site a reactor, appropriate funds, or approve a project. The order names Idaho National Laboratory as a research institution and a possible member seat, not as a particular reactor project. The witness clause places the signature at the Capitol in Boise on 22 September 2025. The same press page's news sentence says the signing was at Idaho National Laboratory.
Not approved or still pending
No statute, commission order, appropriation, or reactor permission is created by this order. The press page says the task force replaces the Leadership in Nuclear Energy Commission; that sentence is not in the order text that follows it. Idaho reactor projects are not linked. The official PDF is a scan; OCR corroborates the title, number, advisory paragraphs and Boise witness clause. Executive Order 2021-02 was opened. Its text continues the Leadership in Nuclear Energy Commission and does not say that the 2025 order rescinds it.
