newrecordconfirmed Addresses on record: El Segundo and Hawthorne overlapped in 2024-25; a Torrance address is on the Carbon claim notice

undated · orig-036 · Valar Atomics

Business addresses given for Valar Atomics Inc. in records read: (1) 1325 E El Segundo Blvd, Suite A, El Segundo, CA: on the company's own website in December 2024 (archived copy) and as the client address on its federal lobbying registration effective December 8, 2025. (2) 4857 W 147th St, Hawthorne, CA: the principal address on the California registration from a Statement of Information filed November 19, 2024, per a third-party copy (orig-052); DOE's September 30, 2025 fuel-line release lists Valar in Hawthorne; ANS called it Hawthorne-based in November 2025; it is the recipient and place-of-performance address in the federal award record (orig-055) and the address given for the mark's owner in the March 2026 trademark application (orig-051); Valar's June 2026 draft calls Hawthorne 'our headquarters' (orig-035). (3) 20333 Normandie Ave, Torrance, CA: the locator address on the Notice of Location for the RW 453 lode claim in Carbon County, September 12, 2026 (posted notice; fld-002). Press kept describing Valar as El Segundo-based: Contrary (November 2025), Mother Jones and Deseret News (early 2026), ANS (June 2026) and TechCrunch (July 2026). No record read explains what the Torrance address is. Valar's current website gives no street address.

In plain termsValar has used at least three Southern California addresses: El Segundo on its early website and lobbying papers, Hawthorne as its registered and 'headquarters' address from late 2024, and a Torrance address that appears only on the Utah mining-claim notice. Using more than one office is normal for a growing company; what is at the Torrance address is an open question.

verified 2026-09-29: Verify pass 2 (2026-09-29): merged with orig-054 (the same address record). Archive, LDA, DOE, ANS, draft page, Deseret, Mother Jones and TechCrunch re-read; claim-notice photo checked (Torrance address). Correction: the California copy shows Hawthorne as principal address from a November 19, 2024 filing, so 'Hawthorne from late 2025' was wrong; El Segundo and Hawthorne overlapped. Correction 2026-09-29 (wording review): Mother Jones cited as 'Mother Jones (Kiera Butler), 26 Feb 2026' (narrow quote; headline not repeated).
