Fact plan-019
Read on 29 September 2026, Valar's homepage says Valar is 'building hundreds of nuclear reactors on Valar Atomics gigasites' focused on hydrogen (by a sulfur-iodine cycle), data-center power, heavy industrial power and clean hydrocarbon fuels, and that it is partnering with DOE, the San Rafael lab and Utah 'to go live before America's 250th birthday on July 4th, 2026', a date now three months past, written as still ahead. Its technology page says the non-nuclear Ward Zero prototype is 'ready to go live'. The record: one test reactor has been built and operated (plan-002, plan-006); no gigasite has been approved anywhere (the Carbon lease holds land pending permits, plan-016; the Green River application was dropped, mine-008); no hydrogen or synthetic fuel has been produced (orig-063). 'Building hundreds' describes an aim, not work under way. The newer Castle Country page uses past tense for Ward 250 and says 'Ward 250 is step one'.
