  1. This follows [a previous bill](https://capitolnewsillinois.com/news/pritzker-signs-measure-allowing-new-small-scale-nuclear-technology-in-illinois/) that lifted the moratorium only on small modular reactors (SMRs) of less than 300 MWe generating capacity. It also adds Illinois to [the list of states that have repealed nuclear bans or moratoriums](https://www.ncsl.org/environment-and-natural-resources/states-restrictions-on-new-nuclear-power-facility-construction) in the last 5 years.

    Make sure to leave him a glowing review for this legislation.

    Ultimately, this is going to ensure the state has a lot of power going forward.
