Valar AtomicsIn Development
Valar's commercial concept: industrial campuses hosting hundreds to thousands of mass-produced HTGR units (each scalable to ~5 MWe) generating grid-independent electricity, sulfur-iodine-cycle hydrogen, and synthetic hydrocarbon fuels from captured CO2 for data centers, heavy industry, and transportation.

Concept stage, now with a first named land package: on September 18, 2026 Utah Trust Lands approved a Carbon County lease of up to 640 acres near Wellington and Price as an expansion site beyond the Emery County test lab, still pending development plans and permits. CEO Isaiah Taylor targets test-basis power sales in 2027 and full commercial operation in 2028; the first announced application is a 30 MW nuclear-powered AI data center being explored with Nvidia in Orangeville, Utah.

A 100 kWt TRISO-fueled, graphite-moderated, helium-cooled high-temperature gas test reactor at the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab - roughly minivan-sized before shielding - built to demonstrate the reactor architecture Valar plans to mass-produce, with the design scalable to 5 MWe per unit.
A 100 kW TRISO-fueled research microreactor being developed in the Philippines with the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute through Valar's local arm VARI (Valar Atomics Research Institute), intended for the University of the Philippines Diliman campus as a standalone, non-grid-connected demonstration unit.
