These 9 Illinois communities say they’re interested in new nuclear facilities
The state lifted its moratorium on new nuclear facilities, but development could still be decades away

CHICAGO — Illinois has opened the door to a new era of nuclear energy generation, but a question remains: Where would new nuclear power plants go?
It’s an issue that Gov. JB Pritzker directed state agencies to explore this spring, when he signed his first executive order of the year and as the state seeks to stave off projected energy shortfalls that could spur higher energy prices and jeopardize reliability in coming years.
The goal of the order was to bring at least two gigawatts more energy online, enough to power up to 2 million homes or 20 large data centers.
Illinois took its first official step back into nuclear energy when Pritzker signed the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act this January, lifting a nearly four-decade ban on building new large-scale nuclear power plants.
That moratorium was signed in 1987 by then-Gov. James Thompson as the U.S. looked for solutions to safely store radioactive nuclear waste. The same year, the passage of the federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act had tasked the U.S. Department of Energy with evaluating a potential site to bury all the nation’s nuclear waste deep underground.
Nevada’s Yucca Mountain was designated as the most promising location, but the plan was not well-received by residents of the Silver State, which did not have any commercial nuclear reactors of its own. Fulfilling a campaign promise, then-President Barack Obama cut funding to the project in 2009 and the following year his administration halted its license review, effectively killing the project.
Illinois’ ban on new nuclear plants was meant to last until the federal government implemented a solution for nuclear waste storage. Spent nuclear fuel is stored primarily onsite at the state’s six power plants in water-filled pools and dry storage casks, an indefinite extension of what was originally supposed to be a short-term solution. Those six plants host 11 reactors that still generate over half of the electricity produced in the state.
But nearly 40 years later and no closer to an answer, lawmakers lifted the ban on new large-scale nuclear plants; the state had previously lifted a moratorium in 2023 on construction of small modular reactors generating less than 300 megawatts, though there are none commercially available in the U.S.
“The executive order was an important acknowledgement that nuclear energy must be part of the Illinois future,” said Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, who has long been a proponent of lifting the moratorium. “The conversation has shifted from whether we need nuclear to how we get the projects built.”
Nuclear communities
Now, as the state looks to kickstart nuclear development, it’s beginning conversations about where new plants would go.
To that end, Pritzker directed state agencies to begin soliciting interest from communities open to hosting new nuclear facilities, as well as developers who may consider building and operating them.
Ultimately, leaders from nine communities around the state expressed interest in bringing new nuclear reactors to town. The letters are not a definitive declaration that any specific nuclear proposal has been accepted or received zoning approval, but rather the beginning of further conversations.
About half of Illinois’ baseload power comes from nuclear generation, and Pritzker said at a quantum technology forum earlier this week that the prevalence of the technology has made finding sites for potential development easier in Illinois.
“We don’t have the problem where people are saying, ‘Well, I don’t know about nuclear … we don’t want that near where we live,’” he said. “Guess what? We have 11, you know, we have major power plants all across northern Illinois, and people are like, ‘sure you can build another power plant nearby.’”
So, what communities are holding the door open to nuclear, and why?
Of the nine Illinois communities that responded, six are those that already host nuclear: the city of Marseilles and the counties of DeWitt, Grundy, Ogle, Rock Island and Will.
Two more are counties that have lived alongside large-scale power plants of another type: coal. Those are Peoria
County, which saw its coal-fired power plant decommissioned in 2022, and Jasper County, which is set to see its coal plant decommissioned next year.
The final response came from the Illinois Nuclear Power Institute at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, which is seeking a microreactor for research and workforce training purposes. The energy capacity generated by the reactor UIUC seeks, a maximum of 45 megawatts, would not contribute directly to the state’s energy utilization goals, but UIUC argued it would strengthen the state’s position as a national nuclear leader.
Bringing new nuclear to all nine sites would not be necessary to meet Pritzker’s two-gigawatt goal; that could likely be achieved by building just two new power plants. Constellation, the operator of all six of Illinois’ existing plants, estimated it could add 500 megawatts, a quarter of the total goal, to the grid through upgrades on current sites alone.
Jobs, taxes, energy
In their response letters, many of the communities mentioned the potential for new high-paying jobs and long-term tax base stability as economic development priorities that drew them to pursuing nuclear.
DeWitt County Board Chair Joe Witte said supporting the county’s existing relationship with Constellation, which has long operated the Clinton nuclear plant there and currently employs over 500 people, was also a priority.
“They’ve been a great economic partner,” Witte told Capitol News Illinois. “Beyond just the jobs, I think they’ve been a great community partner as far as supporting a lot of our nonprofits. They host a lot of events. They sponsor events like blood drives and local festivals.”
Those longstanding community partnerships, along with the economic impact and safety record at Clinton, have fostered goodwill and strong local support for nuclear projects, according to DeWitt County’s interest letter.
All the responses touted existing utility-scale infrastructure, skilled workforce bases and residents’ familiarity with living side-by-side with large-scale energy generation.

Officials from the counties ending coal production expressed pride in their regions’ roles in energy production. Both counties proposed the site of their coal power plants as potential locations to house new nuclear, as they have appropriate zoning, space, water resources and existing transmission lines.
Jasper County Board Chairman Jason Warfel said his community had been an energy producer for his entire lifetime. He doesn’t want to see that go away.
“We see this as an opportunity really to continue that legacy rather than losing our place in Illinois’ energy future,” Warfel told Capitol News Illinois. “With the advent of AI, these data centers, the amount of energy production that’s being required now is concerning for individuals because the potential of blackouts, brownouts. Jasper County can be part of that solution.”
For Peoria County Administrator Scott Sorrel, it’s especially important for downstate counties to be part of the energy solution.
While ComEd customers in northern Illinois see energy prices set through auction by the grid administrator PJM, most Ameren Illinois customers in central and southern parts of the state rely on the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, or MISO.
Of Illinois’ six nuclear plants and 11 reactors, only Clinton’s single reactor is on the MISO grid.
“MISO has a need for that power just as much as PJM does, and I think it behooves all of Illinois to not just think of the power needs within the PJM-Chicagoland area, but to look at the power needs across the entire state,” Sorrel told Capitol News Illinois. “All of us have needs to try and have affordable power for the buildings we work in and the homes we live in, and the more generation that can be brought online, whether it be solar, wind, nuclear, the better off we’re going to be.”
Time and money
DeWitt County’s Clinton plant is often cited as a top candidate for further nuclear development, as the current site is already owned by Constellation. It is the only single-reactor plant in the state, whereas the rest have two.
Constellation has also already obtained an early site permit from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which oversees nuclear plants. The preapproval effectively reserves the land for future nuclear development for the next two decades, with options to renew further, according to DeWitt County’s letter.
take 20 years to see a new large-scale nuclear plant materialize, or 10-15 years for small modular reactors that are still largely in development. And, she said, the cost could be high.
The last nuclear plant built in the U.S. was the Vogtle plant in Waynesboro, Georgia, which came online in 2023, seven years later than planned and $17 billion over budget. Ratepayers were on the hook for over $7.5 billion of that spending, raising residential energy bills by 10%.
To Walling, new nuclear doesn’t meet the urgency of Illinois’ energy needs, due to the financial and time constraints of building it. Three state agencies issued a report late last year that predicted shortfalls could hit northern Illinois by 2029 and the rest of the state by 2031 if the state doesn’t implement policy changes.
“You’re definitely looking at something that’s going to take a while, and this is a short-term crisis that’s happening,”
Walling said. “Any proposal to build new nuclear should really look deeply at how it’s going to affect ratepayers. What is the real cost going to be?”
Meanwhile, environmental and consumer advocates say the opportunities for renewables and battery storage are outpacing what nuclear can offer on costs.
For example, a boom in solar development led Peoria County to approve 37 permits for solar farms from 2017 to 2024, bringing in new taxes to support local school districts. A single wind farm in Henry County brought over 200 jobs and was estimated to contribute over $25 million in property taxes.
And those projects can be faster to deploy; solar and battery storage projects can be built in 12-18 months, and wind projects about two years, according to the Wall Street Journal. The delay in getting renewable energy online, however, has largely happened at the grid operator level.
“Beginning to mid of my tenure in the General Assembly, people pretty much viewed renewables and environmentally sustainable energy as kind of an extra, kind of a nice thing, not a big business,” Rep. Ann Williams, D-Chicago, said. “But now wind and solar and storage are big business. They’re creating jobs. They’re giving back to communities.”
New tech, developer constraints
one in China, though there are dozens more designs in development and four in advanced stages of construction, though none operating commercially for energy production in the U.S.
Consumer advocates aren’t optimistic they’ll materialize in time to be a silver bullet for Illinois.
“I would love for some new nuclear technology like SMRs to have a breakthrough, and suddenly we’re building nuclear reactors in three years and they’re cost competitive,” said Nick Wallace, an attorney with the Environmental Law & Policy Center. “That would be fantastic. The history of the nuclear industry makes me very skeptical that that’s going to happen because we haven’t successfully built a new nuclear reactor on-budget and in a timely fashion in 40 years or something.”
Developers themselves are mixed on the issue. Of the three responses the state received, two were from companies proposing SMRs. One of those was NANO Nuclear Energy, which has entered formal agreements with the University of Illinois for the micro modular research reactor.
Another developer, Blue Energy Global Inc., submitted a letter outlining a proposal to bring 3-5 SMRs. The 24-page letter had over 170 redactions.
“As (SMRs) have yet to be deployed commercially in the U.S., considerable uncertainty exists about the construction cost, construction schedule, and operating costs of these new reactor technologies,” Constellation wrote in its letter. “Cost uncertainty creates substantial challenges to engaging customers and investors in new project development.”
Though Constellation’s letter made no commitments to building or expanding nuclear in Illinois, the company said it considered its existing six sites to be the most promising options for further development. The company said it would be feasible to build at least six gigawatts of new energy at those sites, far surpassing Pritzker’s two-gigawatt target.
The state agencies and partners tasked with reviewing the interest letters from developers and communities are mandated to issue a report with their findings and recommendations in August.
Rezin, who has been a major nuclear advocate, said Illinois is the right place for continued nuclear growth, pointing to the existing expertise in the state.
But even at a site with all the preapprovals lined up, it will take time to bring new nuclear energy online.
Jennifer Walling, CEO of the Illinois Environmental Council, an environmental advocacy group, estimated it would
Many advocates of nuclear are hoping to see the emergence of small modular reactors, advanced reactors that are much smaller in scale than full-sized nuclear plants and can be pre-manufactured in factories and then shipped and installed on site. They generate around 300 megawatts of energy, nearly a third of traditional nuclear reactors.
Currently, there are only two small modular reactors, or SMRs, commercially operating in the world, one in Russia and
“We would not be here if it weren’t for the world-class research institutions like Argonne National Lab and the University of Illinois,” Rezin said. “I am so proud of these experts, and we are very fortunate to have these experts right in our backyard.”

Here’s how Illinois election authorities guard against noncitizen voting
Officials say safeguards are in place prevent inadvertent registration
By Peter Hancock Capitol News Illinois phancock@capitolnewsillinois.com
SPRINGFIELD – Illinois election officials said this week they believe the state’s voter registration are accurate and up to date and that safeguards are in place to prevent non-U.S. citizens from inadvertently becoming registered to vote.
Since 1982, Illinois State Board of Elections spokesperson Matt Dietrich said, only 10 noncitizens have been found to have voted in an Illinois election.
“That’s 10 cases in 44 years.” Dietrich told Capitol News Illinois, referring to information published by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative-leaning think tank. “Every two years, you have approximately 5 to 6 million votes being cast. So, you’re talking really about hundreds of millions of votes cast, with 10 prosecutions.”
The U.S. Department of Justice is currently suing the state board for access to a complete, unredacted copy of the state’s entire voter registration database. That would include sensitive information such as dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers of all 8.3 million registered voters in Illinois.
The agency says it needs that information to ensure Illinois is complying with federal requirements to regularly scrub the database of people who should not be registered, including people who have died, moved to a different address or people who are found not to be U.S. citizens.
Similar lawsuits have been filed in dozens of other states and Washington, D.C. So far, judges in 15 of those cases have ruled against the department, finding it has no legal authority to demand access to states’ sensitive voter data. No judge has yet ruled in DOJ’s favor, although cases in Illinois and several other states are still pending.
DOJ has also threatened criminal prosecution of any state election official anywhere in the country if it finds noncitizens have been allowed to register or cast ballots.
Citizenship question
Under the National Voter Registration Act, also known as the “Motor Voter” law, voters are not required to show proof of U.S. citizenship when they register to vote. Instead, they attest, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens when filling out their voter registration applications.
“And that attestation also contains language that tells them if they provide false information, they’ll be subject to prosecution, deportation, and denial of entry to the country should they ever try to enter again,” Dietrich said.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, several states have passed laws requiring proof of citizenship to register. But courts have generally held that states do not have authority to enact additional requirements for registration in federal elections.
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case in its upcoming term that challenges an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship. Meanwhile, a bill known as the SAVE America Act is pending before Congress. The Republican-backed bill is supported by President Donald Trump but is currently stalled in the Senate.
That bill would require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote as well as photo identification when casting a ballot. It would also require states to take affirmative steps to identify noncitizens who are registered to vote and to delete those individuals from the voter rolls.
For most people, proof of citizenship could include a valid U.S. passport or a certified birth certificate paired with a photo ID. But critics argue it would impose significant burdens on certain individuals including married women or anyone who has ever changed their name, or people who were not born in a hospital and don’t have birth certificates.
Automatic registration
One way in which noncitizens can inadvertently become registered to vote is through automatic registration when applying for a driver’s license or state identification card.
That came to light Tuesday when New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill acknowledged an estimated 6,600 noncitizens were inadvertently registered between June 2023 and June 2024 due to a software
glitch at that state’s Motor Vehicle Commission.
“Our preliminary analysis shows fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted,” Sherrill said in a statement. “They were registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state.”
Illinois experienced a similar glitch in late 2019 when an estimated 545 noncitizens were mistakenly entered as registered voters due to a glitch in the automatic voter registration system that the state had adopted just two years earlier. Of those, 15 individuals were able to cast ballots, although three of those turned out to be citizens.
“That software glitch was fixed,” Dietrich said Tuesday.
He also said no prosecutions resulted from that error, and that then-Secretary of State Jesse White issued letters to all of the people who were mistakenly registered accepting responsibility for the error and advising them not to vote in any election.
“We, along with the secretary of state (Jesse White at that time), spoke to some legislative committees about this, explained what had happened,” he said. “The secretary of state really re-did that whole system and now, if you check ‘no’ on that attestation, you cannot go forward into the automatic voter registration. Your driver’s license process can continue, but your information will not be forwarded to us. So we cleared that up.”
Voter list maintenance
Dietrich noted that in Illinois, the primary responsibility for keeping voter lists accurate and up-to-date rests with local election authorities, not the state.
Those include the county clerks in 101 of the state’s 102 counties. Cook County has a separate Board of Elections. And eight cities in Illinois – Bloomington; Chicago; Danville; East St. Louis; Galesburg; and Rockford – have their own municipal boards of elections.
“They are responsible for maintaining their own voter rolls locally, and what we do at the state board is we provide administrative assistance for them to do that,” Dietrich said.
John Ackerman, the county clerk in Tazwell County who often serves as a
spokesperson for local election authorities, said the primary method local officials use to clean up their voter rolls is by direct mail to verify whether voters are still living at the same address.
In odd-numbered years, he said, his office mails a voter registration card to every registered voter in the county.
“If that should be bounced back or returned as undeliverable – they’re not forwardable – then that can help us initiate the process of removing an individual from our rolls,” he said.
In addition, he said, in even-numbered years, state law requires local authorities to send voters a reminder notice that they may apply for a mail-in ballot for state and federal elections.
“With that being a letter to all registered voters, a certified letter from our office, I utilize it to perform the purge as well,” Ackerman said. “So in my county, I’m actually accomplishing that every year, and there are other counties that have picked up and done that as well. But not all counties do that. At a minimum, every county is doing it every other year.”
In addition to direct mail verifications, Ackerman said, Illinois is among 26 states, plus Washington, D.C., that share voter registration and motor vehicle data through the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC. That system also receives change-of-address information from the U.S. Postal Service as well as death notifications from the Social Security Administration.
Dietrich said that between new registrations, change of address notifications and death notices, local officials are constantly updating their registration rolls, and the most current lists are uploaded to the State Board of Elections nightly.
“Every day, the 108 local election authorities upload their own databases because every day, no matter how small your county is, someone else is registering, someone is being removed,” Dietrich said. “Things are changing every day, so that data gets uploaded to us nightly.”

Every summer, Rockford area gardeners begin noticing metallic green colored beetles feeding on fruits, vegetables, and other plants. These are Japanese beetles which emerge in late June, with populations peaking during July and August, hanging out in large numbers near their favorite plants. While they feed on many plants, they can be especially troublesome for fruit and vegetable gardens. This past week, I’ve started to see a large population targeting the fruit buds of my blackberry plants that will cause my berries to be much smaller when they finally ripen.
If you are growing fruit, you may find them on grapes, berries, cherries, and

apples. In your vegetable garden, they may feed on sweet corn silks, beans, asparagus, rhubarb, and other crops. Their feeding damage is often easy to recognize. Beetles eat the leaf tissue between the leaf veins, leaving behind a lace-like or “skeletonized” appearance. Substantial feeding can weaken plants, reduce photosynthesis, and diminish the overall appearance and productivity of crops. In my situation, it means smaller blackberries.
One challenge with these beetles is that they rarely feed alone. As they are eating, they release signals that attract additional beetles to the same plant. What starts as a small population can quickly turn into many more showing up to feed on your crops. Grapes are particularly
vulnerable, with beetles capable of stripping large portions of foliage in a short period of time.
Regular scouting is one of the most effective management tools you can start with. Now that they are here and will stay around this next month, inspect susceptible plants every few days and pay close attention to grapes, berries, and sweet corn. Early detection can help prevent severe infestations.
If there aren’t many beetles yet, hand removal can provide effective control. Early morning is often the best time to remove beetles because they are less active and easier to collect. Shaking/ dropping them into a bucket of soapy water is an easy way to reduce populations and limit the attraction of additional beetles.
Avoid using traps. These generally will attract more than what would exist in your yard and increase the population to cause more damage. Row covers can help protect certain vegetable crops, while netting may provide protection for small fruit plantings. Insecticides labeled for use on fruits and vegetables are also available, but be mindful of when they can be applied. While soil treatments and milky spore products are sometimes listed for control, they are generally not recommended as primary management tools because adult beetles can fly long distances and you would need to treat a very large area, not just your lawn.

Concerns about diesel
By Dr. Robert Vogl, Ph.D. Illinois Renewable Energy Association
Contributor
The other day I expressed empathy for the owner of a small towing company over the high cost of diesel fuel and was surprised by his answer which was that he does not pay for the diesel as the person whose vehicle he might be towing pays for the diesel in his towing bill. Because of his lack of interest I transferred my concern over the price of diesel to the higher cost for food because of the long distances food is shipped around the world.
Another person joined the brief conversation and commented that we have been hearing for years that we are running out of oil and it is old news that has not proven true. Realizing that I was not having the impact I was hoping to have on either of them, I decided to change the topic and we had a short discussion on how pleasant the weather was that day in contrast to the blistering heat of the previous week. I was hoping for an open discussion on their thoughts regarding diesel and how our modern economy has been built around low cost fossil fuels and technological advances which burn or use the chemicals in the fuels to provide goods and services. In 1957 petroleum
geologist M. King Hubbert predicted that oil supplies would peak by 1971. By 2005 the supply of convention oil had also peaked. As we consume the least costly supplies first securing additional supplies from more distant and deeper wells is more costly.
We have built a massive global infrastructure which remains dependent on fossil fuels for over 80% of our energy. As fossil fuels become more costly and less available society will be forced to adjust to the new conditions.
A complicating factor is the consumption of fossil fuels pollutes the environment and contributes to global warming which damages the very infrastructure built from fossil fuels. As the climate deteriorates it becomes more costly to repair and maintain the infrastructure built with fossil fuels.
An ongoing concern is how the global society will respond to energy and resource shortages. To date the historic pattern of using war as a solution is being relied on. There are far less environmental damaging solutions possible if global leaders can reach agreement on them.
One potential response is to redesign the global economy to use less energy and use it more efficiently than we currently
do. Rather than waiting on global leaders to respond to the multiple crises in the global economy individuals and local communities can take actions to reduce their energy consumption.
There are a range of options available to individuals and communities to respond to the need to increase their energy security while reducing their energy consumption. Some possible solutions can include returning to ways earlier generations relied on in response to diminished resource availability.
During the depression of the 1930s large numbers of people were unemployed and struggled to survive. Few could afford new clothes and old clothes were repaired and shared within families, gardens and canning were common as well. Eventually government programs were enacted to ease the burden of poverty.
For housing multiple generations of family members and friends shared housing with one another. Widowed and single women share homes as well. In anticipation of potential bombing attacks within the United States included periodic lighting blackouts across entire cities were implemented for short periods of time.
There are plenty of ideas and existing
technologies to build a more energy efficient economy. In a recent informal discussion with a former employee of a firm supplying natural gas to home owners he was pleasantly surprised by a new home built next to his that was extremely energy efficient. For heating and cooling the new home has a ground source heat pump that meets his seasonal energy needs.
Other people known to us have upgraded the energy efficiency of their homes, installed air to air heat pumps or provided additional electricity by installing solar systems. Some have turned to electric bikes and cars for transportation. For those with more limited funds heating and cooling one or two rooms can reduce home energy costs.
Currently a major energy concern is the shortage of diesel fuel which is key to agricultural production, transportation and resource mining and processing. The higher cost of these fuels have a major impact of the rising rate of inflation within the economy. The question some economists are asking is diesel grade fuel depleting or are the markets seeking to command a high price.
