newrecordconfirmed Between March and July 2026 Valar's NRC-suit post, 'CT scan' claim intact, was tagged asking search engines not to list it
2026 · orig-061 · Valar Atomics

Valar's April 7, 2025 post 'Valar Atomics is Suing the NRC' contains the claim that holding Ward One's spent fuel for five minutes gives the same exposure as a CAT scan (orig-017). Read 2026-09-29, the page carries a robots meta tag, 'noindex, nofollow', which asks search engines not to list it, and the site's page data marks it 'disableIndex: true'; no other Valar library post carries the tag. Internet Archive copies of the page from April 8, 2025 through March 23, 2026 have no such tag; copies from July 22 and August 25, 2026 have it. In every copy the claim's text is unchanged, and no correction or note has been added. The post is still listed in Valar's own library, so visitors to the site can still find it. The tag appeared some time after March 23, 2026. The record does not show who added it or why.

In plain termsValar's post with the 'CT scan' claim is still on its website, word for word. Sometime between late March and late July 2026 the page was tagged asking search engines not to list it, while it stays on the company's own site. No correction or withdrawal of the claim was found. Why the tag was added is not on record.
