HR 796 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the commercial development and operation of in-situ recovery technology.

This Texas House resolution (HR 796) commemorates the 50th anniversary of the commercial use of in-situ recovery (ISR) technology for uranium extraction, specifically marking the April 10, 2025, anniversary. It honors the 1975 launch of the first commercial ISR project at the Clay West site in South Texas and recognizes pioneers from companies like Union Carbide and U.S. Steel. The resolution highlights ISR’s role in providing over half of global uranium production while minimizing surface disruption and emphasizing environmental stewardship through groundwater reclamation. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or policies.
