State legislation: Illinois bill aims to lift state’s remaining nuclear moratorium
A bill that would fully repeal the state’s entire moratorium on new nuclear projects survived a key deadline in the Illinois General Assembly last week.
To stay afloat in the spring legislative session, bills needed to be assigned to committee by March 21, and state Sen. Sue Rezin’s Senate Bill 1527 now sits with the Senate’s Energy and Public Utilities committee for review.

The Federal government has significantly increased the level of support for nuclear energy research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) over the past decade. Some new programs such as the Gateway for the Acceleration of Advanced Nuclear (GAIN), the Nuclear Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC), and the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP) have been created while other traditional programs continue. There does not seem to have been a significant strategic review of the interfaces between all of these programs. This panel will discuss a set of proposed basic principles under which RDD&D programs could be structured, intending to open up a national conversation about how we spend funds in the goal of advancing the possibilities for the use of nuclear energy.
