      H.R. No. 796       R E S O L U T I O N          WHEREAS, The 50th anniversary of the development of in-situ   recovery technology is taking place on April 10, 2025, marking half   a century of innovation and progress in uranium extraction; and          WHEREAS, The first commercial ISR project was carried out at   the Clay West site in South Texas, and over the years, the method   was shaped by pioneers from such major companies as Union Carbide   Corporation, Westinghouse, and U.S. Steel; today, ISR accounts for   more than 50 percent of global uranium production, providing a   critical fuel source for the nuclear energy sector; and          WHEREAS, This solution-based technology eliminates the need   for traditional mining by extracting uranium directly from   underground ore bodies, minimizing surface disruption, reducing   costs, and ensuring a safer process for workers; in addition, ISR   operations in the U.S. have demonstrated remarkable environmental   stewardship, utilizing groundwater mixed with oxygen and sodium   bicarbonate in a manner that allows for full reclamation and   restoration of the land and water to their original use; and          WHEREAS, In the five decades since its inception, ISR has   transformed the field of uranium extraction, setting new global   benchmarks for efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability;   now, therefore, be it          RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas   Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the   commercial development and operation of in-situ recovery   technology and commend all those associated with its founding.     Guillen     ______________________________   Speaker of the House                 I certify that H.R.
