EAGLE, ID--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 18, 2008 -- Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. (Other OTC:AEHI.PK - News) announced the formation of a new holding company, International Reactors, Inc. (IRI). IRI is a corporation formed to assist developing countries with power generation, as well as the production of potable water. By constructing commercial nuclear reactors on oceanfront sites, particularly in Latin American and western-friendly Middle Eastern countries, IRI seeks to co-generate clean energy and desalinated water. AEHI recognizes the growing need for reliable, affordable electricity in underdeveloped nations, and the company believes that the technology of advanced nuclear plants can be used to address these energy demands while simultaneously producing fresh water from ocean intake.

AEHI is currently in the early stages of drafting a memorandum of understanding between IRI and a developing country regarding the construction of an IRI advanced nuclear facility. President Don Gillispie comments, "We believe this clean, efficient, advanced technology should be available to all nations to help them develop without the pollution that typically accompanies the heavy use of fossil fuels."
