State can remove unsafe radioactive items

Owners must pay radioactive cleanup costs
The Agency can bill actual costs to any person who owns, owned, possesses, or is responsible for radioactive material that entered the public domain. Costs can include collection, storage, and disposal. The law does not set dollar caps or a billing formula.
Advance notice for nuclear fuel shipments
Since August 20, 2021, shippers and carriers moving irradiated reactor fuel in Illinois must give two notices. They must notify the Agency at least 7 days before and again 24 hours before transport. Notices must list the route, entry place and time into Illinois, and the amount and source. The Agency alerts the State Police, who notify county sheriffs along the route. This requirement ends January 1, 2027.
