Bill > HJR0944

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate, recognizes and applauds the significant contributions and continued growth of the nuclear energy industry within the State of Tennessee. It highlights Tennessee's historical role in the Atomic Age, dating back to the Manhattan Project, and acknowledges the ongoing essential missions conducted at facilities like Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a major U.S. Department of Energy laboratory focused on energy, quantum computing, and security, and the Y-12 National Security Complex, which manufactures components for naval reactors. The resolution also points to the economic benefits of nuclear cleanup efforts, such as the United Cleanup Oak Ridge project, which has attracted substantial new nuclear investments and job creation, and notes the state's establishment of a "Nuclear Development Fund" to further spur these investments, leading to Tennessee being recognized as a hub for nuclear innovation. Ultimately, the resolution expresses gratitude to the employees of the nuclear industry for their service and wishes them continued success.
