How campaign donations played a role in new Illinois nuclear power law

Steam rises from one of the two cooling towers Monday, Jan. 30, 2012, at the Byron nuclear generating station in Ogle County, Ill. A loss of power coming into the plant caused one of the reactors to automatically shutdown Monday morning. U.S. officials said they may have traced a power failure at a nuclear reactor in Illinois to a failed piece of equipment at a switchyard that delivers power to and from the plant.
