Illinois HB3604 repeals the prohibition on constructing new nuclear power reactors with a nameplate capacity exceeding 300 megawatts within the state. This change allows construction to commence if the U.S. Government has identified and approved a technology for disposing of high-level nuclear waste. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security must consult with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources before approving such construction.
