The Illinois Senate has approved lifting a 36-year-old moratorium on new nuclear power installments. Proponents say the plan endorsed Wednesday will ensure the state can meet its carbon-free power production promise by 2045. The plan would open the door to cutting-edge nuclear technology in so-called small modular reactors.
State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, explains fresh legislation she introduced, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023, in Springfield, Ill, lifting a moratorium on new nuclear reactors in Illinois. Legislation ending the 1987 prohibition won overwhelming approval last spring but Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker vetoed it, citing among other things, a need to modernize oversight rules.
The House has through Thursday — the scheduled adjournment of the General Assembly’s fall session — to OK the proposal and send it to Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
