The Office of the Utah Attorney General's 2025 Annual Report (PDF created 22 January 2026) has an item headed 'Challenging federal overreach on small nuclear reactors'. It says Utah joined a multistate lawsuit challenging the NRC's authority to license certain small nuclear reactors, and that the case is currently stayed while the NRC considers rule revisions and possible exemptions. Elsewhere the report says a Government Operations attorney completed the documentation for a research nuclear reactor at the San Rafael Energy Lab; that passage does not name Valar. The report does not mention a settlement. A search of the office's posted news items for 'nuclear' and 'Regulatory Commission' found no release about the case. (Updates safe-028.)
