Pritzker says he’s open to nuclear power if done safely – Center Square

Illinois is one of only 12 states with a moratorium banning any future construction of nuclear plants. "Banning nuclear entirely in a world where its become much safer, things are smaller, less prone to an accident, more likely for us to be able to maintain them for a long time. That is something worth consideration," Gov. JB Pritzker said. "The devil's in the details and we want to make sure we are not just opening this up to nuclear everywhere or every type of nuclear."
