Illinois lifts moratorium on new large nuclear reactors
New power reactors of any size can be now be sited in the state of Illinois, thanks to legislation signed by Gov. J. B. Pritzker on January 8. The Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA)—which Pritzker says is designed to lower energy costs for consumers, drive the development of new energy resources in the state, and strengthen the grid—lifts the moratorium on new, large nuclear reactors that Illinois enacted in the late 1980s.

An analytical and a Finite Element (FE) model for eddy current computation on the RFX conductive shell are compared by means of a harmonic analysis. The influence of the basic assumptions of the analytical model is investigated and the criteria for the choice of the FE mesh are presented. The application limits of the models are discussed and their accuracy is assessed by means of experimental measurements on the actual RFX shell.
