Gov. Pritzker issues EO to boost nuclear energy in Illinois
Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker issued a new executive order (EO) on February 18 directing both the Illinois Power Agency and the Illinois Commerce Commission to issue a notice of intent (NOI) to potential developers of new nuclear power plants.
The signing of that EO took place on the same day Pritzker delivered his 2026 State of the State address, in which he set a goal of building at least 2 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity in the state.

Numerical assessment of a high-throughput electrorefining concept for a spent metallic fuel was carried out by using a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, CFX. An electrorefiner concept equipped with a graphite cathode bundle was designed to recover a high-purity uranium product continuously without a noble metal contamination. The performance of the process for the decontamination of a noble metal in a uranium product was evaluated as a function of the process parameters, such as the rotation speeds of the stirrer and the anode basket. The effects of the void fraction of the anode basket cavity and the morphology of the uranium dendrite on the molten-salt flow and collection behavior were also evaluated with the calculated results.
