Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
H.Res. 567 is a commemorative resolution honoring the 40-year anniversary of Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station near Port Gibson, Mississippi, which has been operating since 1985. The resolution recognizes the plant's role in generating approximately 16 percent of Mississippi's electricity while producing no greenhouse gas emissions, serving nearly half a million Mississippians. The facility employs over 800 workers with an annual payroll exceeding $113 million and contributes approximately $30 million in state and local taxes annually. The resolution notes that the plant received a license extension from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate through 2044 and highlights its significance as the largest single-unit nuclear power plant in the United States and fifth-largest globally following a 2012 efficiency upgrade. This is a ceremonial resolution with no new funding or policy changes; it simply expresses congressional recognition of the plant's contributions to Mississippi's energy needs and economy.
