newrecordconfirmed Valar is on DOE's HALEU Consortium member list, a free, open industry group, not a fuel allocation
DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy lists Valar Atomics among HALEU Consortium members on a page last modified 30 December 2025. The page says 'Membership is free and is open to U.S. entities' involved in any stage of the nuclear fuel cycle that want to partner with DOE on HALEU availability, and that they apply by email. Membership is not a HALEU allocation. Valar is not named in any of DOE's three announced allocation rounds (gov-008). No record read names the supplier of Ward 250's fuel; dir-028 sets out why it is most likely the CNPS stock. (Updates gov-008.)
In plain termsValar belongs to DOE's HALEU Consortium, a free group open to companies interested in this richer fuel. Joining does not give a company any fuel.
