Valar Carbon County nuclear campus proposal (Project Beehive)
Valar proposes an integrated nuclear-energy, manufacturing, mineral-refining and computing campus about five miles north of Wellington in Carbon County, Utah. The September 2026 trust-lands memorandum for SULA 2095-OBA describes development, manufacture and operation of HTGRs and explains the proposal in terms of Valar’s small modular reactors and phased reactor-fleet deployment. A reactor model, module count and output are not stated; Ward 250’s specifications and Emery County milestones are not inherited. The land transaction is not reactor construction or operating permission, and the site has no map pin. Project Beehive is the reported discovery label.
