unresolvedtechnical 'Raw and uncleaned' data for 'external peer review', said an unfinished, unlisted Valar page in June; the only data is one unlabeled chart
What was said
- Isaiah Taylor (June 2026 page) (2026-06-28): "The data we're sharing today is raw and uncleaned"; over the next few weeks Valar would use "both internal and external peer review" to refine it; Valar is "a very open and transparent company".Ward 250 By the Numbers (Isaiah Taylor; unlisted page that still carries placeholders) (Valar Atomics, 2026-06-28)
What the record shows
- The page shares one chart, 'Reactor Power Ascension', plotting an unlabeled 0-100 'Q_Total' and thermocouple readings of about 30-80 F against a 'sample index', with no units, dates or times; the page is unlisted and still carries placeholders ('July XX', '[xxx]') (plan-007).Reactor Power Ascension chart (image on the By the Numbers page) (Valar Atomics, 2026-06-28)
- Valar's library page lists no later data release or peer-review result as of 29 September 2026.Library (Valar Atomics)
- The page carrying the promise is unfinished and unlisted: it breaks off mid-sentence ('This aspect', 'All of these'), keeps placeholders ('made power on July XX', '[xxx]') and is not listed in Valar's library (orig-071). It may be a draft never meant for release.Ward 250 By the Numbers (Isaiah Taylor; unlisted page that still carries placeholders) (Valar Atomics, 2026-06-28)
The gap: The promise sits on a page that is unfinished and unlisted in Valar's library, so it may be a draft never meant to be read, which is a plausible innocent reading. But it is live at a public address under the CEO's name, and three months later no reviewed data, and no other data release, has appeared.
In plain termsOn an unfinished page dated June, Valar's founder wrote that the company was sharing its raw reactor data and would have outsiders check it over the following weeks, as part of being 'a very open and transparent company.' The page was never finished or listed in Valar's library, so it may be a draft that was never meant to go out. But it is on Valar's public website under his name. What it actually shows is one chart with no units, no dates and no time scale, so no one can tell from it how much power the reactor made or when. Three months later, no checked data has appeared anywhere.
Why it matters: Independent review of real operating data is the best way for the public to know what the reactor does; it has been promised, not delivered.
What would settle it: Valar publishing the power, temperature and radiation data with units and times, and naming its external reviewers; FOIA to DOE Idaho Operations Office for the operating logs.
