From uncertainty to vitality: The future of nuclear energy in Illinois
Nuclear is enjoying a bit of a resurgence. The momentum for reliable energy to support economic development around the country—specifically data centers and AI—remains strong, and strongly in favor of nuclear. And as feature coverage on the states in the January 2026 issue of Nuclear News made abundantly clear, many states now see nuclear as necessary to support rising electricity demand while maintaining a reliable grid and reaching decarbonization goals.

This panel will examine new technologies being explored to address the impacts of uranium contamination on former mining and mill tailing sites in the southwest. The panel will cover the research and efforts to use technologies such as evapotranspiration covers, permeable reactive barriers, and in situ remediation. The panel will also provide updates and lessons learned on major sites undergoing remediation, including outreach efforts to inform Navajo communities about the risks that uranium mines pose, such as the recent Uranium 101 Workshop in Arizona.
