Fact plan-016
The state's lease record (staff memo and slides for the Trust Lands board, August and September 2026) describes the purpose of the Wellington-area lease as 'an integrated nuclear energy, advanced manufacturing, critical mineral refining, and data center computing campus': developing, manufacturing and operating helium-cooled high-temperature reactors to generate electrical power, TRISO fuel manufacturing, component manufacturing, concrete batch plants, training facilities, hydrogen and synthetic fuels, data centers, water desalination and steel. The memo says development is planned 'across multiple phases progressing from manufacturing construction to reactor fleet deployment' and that the campus 'will take many years to build'; rent is a low 'Development Phase' rate for years 1 to 5 (mine-011). The slides say Valar wants to lease the land 'while they complete site permitting'. Nowhere in the memo or slides is there a number of reactors, a power output, a construction date or a job count. The only scale figures on record come from speech: ETV reported the CEO hoping for hundreds of reactors in Carbon and Emery (10 September; loc-001). Carbon County site facts (location, easements, notice, permits, water) are in carbon_site.json (csite-001 to csite-032) and mining.json (mine-010 to mine-017); the RW 453 claim notice is fld-002.
