newrecordconfirmed March 31, 2026: the Utah Energy Council's agenda put a Valar update at the San Rafael lab just before a public-comment item
2026-03-31 · gov-041 · Utah Energy Council, Utah Office of Energy Development, Valar Atomics, Utah San Rafael Energy Lab

The Utah Energy Council's agenda for its 31 March 2026 meeting (virtual, with an anchor location at the Cannon DHHS Building in Salt Lake City; posted on the Utah Public Notice Website, file dated 30 March 2026) lists item 7, 'Valar Atomics at San Rafael Lab Update', and item 8, 'Public comment', two minutes per speaker, which the agenda describes as 'time set aside for citizens to express their views' and says no immediate action can be taken on matters raised. Item 9 is a closed strategy session on the purchase, exchange or lease of real property under H.B. 70 (2025), which names no property (csite-031). The minutes of this meeting were not read, so what was said in the update or in public comment is not known. It is one of several noticed state meetings at which Valar's Emery work came up with a public-comment item on the same agenda (gov-040, gov-042).

In plain termsIn March 2026 the state's Energy Council had a Valar update on its posted agenda, followed directly by time for the public to speak. The agenda shows the chance to comment existed; the record read does not show what was said.
