They will build their own small reactors beside their locations.......................
No, the deal is to buy from Constellation directly. This is not coming from the “grid”. By agreeing to purchase this power directly Constellation can get backing to increase their generation capacity. Without this, Constellation would have to beg Illinois to allow them to push more capacity onto the grid - which impacts other producers, etc. Then they’d have to pay off Pritzker and whoever the current goon is in Chicago - I can’t keep track.

During the Cold War nuclear protests, protesters were breaking into nuclear plants and damaging controls. These are the kind of people who Super Glue themselves to the road to block traffic and splash paint on priceless artworks...you know, morons. The problem with the proliferation of nuclear power plants is the level of security required is high and very expensive. The quality of that security will be on a spectrum of NSA level all the way to passwords of 12345.
