2026-09-09 · dir-008 · Valar Atomics, Internet Archive

Valar's website menu is the same on every page. In the Internet Archive's captures, no Valar page carries a 'Castle Country' menu link on 25 August 2026 (captures of /mission, /careers and /docs at 19:31-19:32 UTC), and the careers page carries it on 9 September 2026 (05:22 UTC); there is no capture of any watched page in between. Every later capture and the live site (29 September) carry it. The Castle Country page itself has one archive capture, 18 September 2026, so when the page was first created is not shown; only when the menu began linking to it. For context: Valar's name first appeared on a public agenda for the lease on 10 August (csite-018), the Trust Lands board heard it on 20 August (mine-014) and voted on 17 September.

In plain termsThe company's own web page about its Carbon County plans was added to its website's menu sometime between August 25 and September 9: after the first public hearing on the lease and one to three weeks before the state voted. Valar may have spoken about the site elsewhere earlier; this is only about its own website.
