Nearly 10,000 acres of Utah public land could host 456 nuclear reactors — enough power for 7-8 million homes, but none of them will get any of that power
Project Beehive could put 456 nuclear reactors on Utah public land to power a 9.6GW data center campus.
Valar Atomics has proposed building 456 nuclear reactors on 9,000 acres of federal land in Price, Utah, generating 9.6GW of power. This capacity is nearly 3 times the average energy production in Utah today, enough to supply electricity for 7-8 million homes. However, the reactors will primarily serve data centers, not residential homes.
The company plans to construct the site in stages as demand grows, starting with major work in late 2026 and full completion by 2032. Valar has secured $1 billion in funding and is still awaiting approval from the Bureau of Land Management for land use and environmental impact.
