H.R. No. 192
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
recognize the nuclear energy research being performed by Natura
Resources, LLC, Abilene Christian University, and NEXTRA or the
Nuclear Energy eXperimental Testing Research Alliance, a
consortium that is being led by ACU in partnership with The
University of Texas, Texas A&M University, and the Georgia
Institute of Technology; and
WHEREAS, Natura Resources, ACU, and NEXTRA have proposed the
construction of a molten salt research reactor to be located at ACU;
and
WHEREAS, The establishment of a molten salt research reactor
represents the first step in the research, development, and
deployment of such reactors, which have the potential to safely
provide not only reliable electricity free of carbon emissions but
also medical-quality isotopes for the treatment of cancer;
moreover, the reactors have the ability to transform nonpotable
water into drinking water; and
WHEREAS, Texas continues to be a driving force in all forms of
energy production, not only in the United States but throughout the
world, and efforts such as the molten salt research reactor project
will further the Lone Star State's record of energy leadership;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commend Natura
Resources, LLC, Abilene Christian University, and NEXTRA for their
work on the proposed molten salt research reactor at Abilene
Christian University and extend to these institutions sincere best
wishes for continued success in this endeavor; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the institutions as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
