2025-12-08 · ppl-011 · Atlas Crossing LLC, Valar Atomics, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate · lobbying income reported, Q4 2025: $10,000; lobbying income reported, Q1 2026: $30,000; lobbying income reported, Q2 2026: $30,000

Federal Lobbying Disclosure Act records (lda.gov, read 29 Sept 2026) show Atlas Crossing LLC, a Washington, DC consulting firm, registered to lobby for 'Valar Atomics Inc.' (a California company, described as scaling nuclear energy for heavy industrial power and clean hydrocarbon fuel) effective 8 December 2025, on 'Issues related to advanced nuclear technology and innovation policy'. Reported income from Valar: $10,000 for Q4 2025 (issue listed as monitoring), $30,000 for Q1 2026 and $30,000 for Q2 2026, a total of $70,000. From Q1 2026 the filings add appropriations: the FY27 Energy and Water appropriations bill (named in Q2 as H.R. 9022). The only bodies listed as contacted are the House and the Senate; no federal agency (DOE, NRC, Defense) is listed. These are the only LDA filings with Valar as client; no Valar self-registration was found. The Q3 2026 report is due on 20 October 2026.

In plain termsValar pays a Washington lobbying firm to talk to Congress about nuclear policy and the budget bill that funds the Energy Department. That is legal and common. The filings show it talked to Congress, not to the agencies that oversee its reactor. The reported fees total $70,000 over three quarters.
