Carbon County's planning commission on Nov. 12, 2026 approved a conditional use permit for Valar Atomics' proposed Raceway Energy Campus on about 640 acres of Utah state trust land, with Commissioner Lisa Simmons voting no. The permit sets conditions for natural-gas power, data centers, fuel work and later reactors, including industrial water, emergency planning and federal licenses before nuclear construction or operation. The Salt Lake Tribune reported the company's figures of about 3 gigawatts and 40 to 120 reactors, and that a gas plant could still be pursued if nuclear licenses are not issued.
