Item Sublette County Forest Collaborative Process and Recommendations(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2017)The purpose of the Sublette County Forest Collaborative was to provide federal, state and private land managers with recommendations to assess and address forest health issues on forests throughout Sublette County.Item Greys River Forest Collaborative Process and Recommendations(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2017)The purpose of the Greys River Forest Collaborative was to provide federal, state and private land managers with recommendations to assess and address forest health, travel management and hydrology issues on the Greys River and neighboring districts.Item Legal and Regulatory Analysis: A Research and Practice Brief for Engaging Communities in Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-07-17)In June 2021, the private company TerraPower, in partnership with electric utility PacifiCorp and the United States Department of Energy (DOE) via its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), announced plans to site its Natrium advanced nuclear reactor near the retiring Naughton coal-fired power plant in Kemmerer, located in southwest Wyoming. This project marks the first commercial advanced nuclear energy facility to begin construction in the United States. This brief summarizes a longer report which investigates whether and how formal advanced nuclear energy siting processes currently incorporate environmental justice and to what extent they provide opportunities for stakeholders to meaningfully participate. The following brief summarizes this report, which includes two sections: 1) Analyzing Environmental Justice within Federal Agencies Relevant to Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting; and 2) Beyond Public Comment: Toward Just Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting Regulatory Procedures.Item Place-Based Industrial History: A Research and Practice Brief for Engaging Communities in Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-07-17)In June 2021, the private company TerraPower, in partnership with electric utility PacifiCorp and the United States Department of Energy (DOE) via its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), announced plans to site its Natrium advanced nuclear reactor near the retiring Naughton coal-fired power plant in Kemmerer, located in southwest Wyoming. This project marks the first commercial advanced nuclear energy facility to begin construction in the United States. This brief summarizes the Historical Energy and Industrial Analysis chapter “Informing Energy Facility Siting through Place-Based Industrial Histories: A Case Study of Kemmerer, Wyoming.” A place-based industrial history focuses on the spatial and temporal patterns of multiple industrial activities in a specific place or community and catalogs the relationships that exist between that place, its people, and a set of economic activities. In this brief, we first introduce the concept of an industrial history as a research process and product. We then apply this process as a case study of Kemmerer, Wyoming. Ultimately, we argue that industrial histories can help support environmental justice analyses, broadly, and informed community engagement, specifically, for advanced nuclear energy facility siting and development.Item Contextual Rhetorical Analysis: A Research and Practice Brief for Engaging Communities in Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2025-07-17)In June 2021, the private company TerraPower, in partnership with electric utility PacifiCorp and the United States Department of Energy (DOE) via its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), announced plans to site its Natrium advanced nuclear reactor near the retiring Naughton coal-fired power plant in Kemmerer, located in southwest Wyoming. This project marks the first commercial advanced nuclear energy facility to begin construction in the United States. This research and practice brief summarizes a Contextual Rhetorical Analysis chapter from a longer Cultural History report and helps establish a baseline understanding of recent discourse about Kemmerer, Wyoming and the Natrium facility. Specifically, we reviewed recent media coverage to inform a landscape-level understanding of key messages and common themes about this context. A contextual rhetorical analysis shows how different types of communication - both formal and informal - may shape policies and decisions.
