Illinois and other former industrial states badly need this having lost much of their manufacturing base to southern states, Mexico, etc. The exodus has been accompanied by migration from these states, elsewhere. Anything that creates an economic incentive for good paying manufacturing jobs to return to these states - even if its a decade away - needs to happen.

The article talks a lot about carbon-free electricity by 2045, but I see nothing about where the SMR's might be manufactured. Between the Mississippi River and St. Lawrence Seaway - SMR's could easily be brought in from ~anywhere on earth.
