|
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 |
 
|

|
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. |
