 RESOLUTION

 Commemorating and honoring the 40-year anniversary of Entergy's Grand 
 Gulf Nuclear Station located in Port Gibson, Mississippi, and 
 recognizing the important role nuclear power plays in energizing life 
 in Mississippi.

Whereas the House of Representatives joins the leadership and employees of 
 Entergy and the citizens of Mississippi in honoring the Grand Gulf 
 Nuclear Station on the occasion of its 40th anniversary;
Whereas Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station located in Port Gibson, 
 Mississippi, has been providing safe, low-cost, reliable, low-emission 
 electricity to nearly half a million Mississippians since 1985;
Whereas Grand Gulf has been an integral part of the generation portfolio of 
 Entergy (90-percent owner) and Cooperative Energy (10-percent owner), 
 providing a significant source of baseload power;
Whereas a power upgrade in 2012 increased the plant's efficiency and generation, 
 making the facility the largest single-unit nuclear powerplant in the 
 country and the 5th-largest in the world;
Whereas the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted an operating 
 license extension for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station to continue to 
 provide customers safe, secure, and reliable nuclear power through the 
 year 2044;
Whereas Grand Gulf, the State's only nuclear plant, provides Mississippians with 
 the stable, long-term benefits of nuclear power and singlehandedly 
 generates about 16 percent of the State's electricity while emitting no 
 greenhouse gases;
Whereas Grand Gulf employs more than 800 highly skilled employees with an annual 
 payroll of over $113,000,000 and approximately $30,000,000 in State and 
 local taxes; and
Whereas Grand Gulf provides the most affordable source of electric energy in 
 Mississippi, an asset that has helped to attract new industry to the 
 State of Mississippi as well as encourage business and industrial 
 expansion throughout much of the State: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) commemorates and honors Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear 
 Station, its leadership, and employees, on its 40th 
 anniversary, and extends its best wishes to this leading 
 corporate citizen on this auspicious occasion; and

    (2) respectfully requests that the Clerk of the House of 
 Representatives transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to 
 Entergy's chief nuclear officer.
