Bill > HRes567

This resolution commemorates the 40-year anniversary of Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station located in Port Gibson, Mississippi, highlighting its significant contributions to the state's energy infrastructure. The nuclear power plant, which has been operational since 1985, provides safe, low-cost, and low-emission electricity to nearly half a million Mississippians, generating approximately 16 percent of the state's electricity without producing greenhouse gases. The resolution notes the plant's impressive achievements, including a 2012 power upgrade that made it the largest single-unit nuclear powerplant in the United States and the fifth-largest globally, and its operating license extension through 2044. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the plant's economic impact, including employing over 800 highly skilled workers with an annual payroll exceeding $113 million and contributing approximately $30 million in state and local taxes. The House of Representatives formally commemorates the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, its leadership, and employees, and directs the House Clerk to transmit an enrolled copy of the resolution to Entergy's chief nuclear officer, recognizing the plant's role in attracting new industry and supporting business expansion in Mississippi.
