nuclear startup proposes 456 reactors on public land in utah
Valar Atomics was selected for a Trump administration program aimed at accelerating advanced nuclear reactors; its proposed Utah project would span more than 9,000 acres near Price.
Valar Atomics is proposing Project Beehive, a massive nuclear-powered data center development spanning more than 9,000 acres of BLM-managed public land near Price.
Plans call for roughly 456 small nuclear reactors producing a combined 9.6 gigawatts of power, alongside data centers and related nuclear facilities.
The federal project has not been approved. BLM is currently reviewing the application, and additional federal review and opportunities for public comment would be required before it moves forward.
Valar was also selected for the Trump administration’s Department of Energy Reactor Pilot Program.
