Utah Energy is pursuing an advanced manufacturing center at Camp Williams, a Utah National Guard base south of Bluffdale, Utah. The company has secured a lease with the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) to develop 400 acres at Camp Williams.

 

The center will be a hub of technology development and hardware manufacturing for the nuclear industry, and it will bring hundreds of jobs to the region, adding to Utah’s robust advanced manufacturing industry.

The State of Utah has developed one of the strongest labor markets in the country, and the Governor’s Office and other state leaders have demonstrated significant support for advanced manufacturing and nuclear projects through the Office of Economic Opportunity, Operation Gigawatt, and the Nuclear Consortium to name a few.

​

Operation Gigawatt

Operation Gigawatt is a decade long mission to double Utah’s power production by 2035, with an emphasis on clean, reliable energy like nuclear. Operation Gigawatt is focused on four key areas to create energy abundance.

1. Increasing transmission capacity so more power can be placed on the grid and moved to where it’s needed.

2. Expanding and developing more energy production.

3. Enhancing Utah’s energy policies to enable clean, reliable energy like nuclear and geothermal.

4. Investing in Utah innovation and research that aligns with the state’s energy policies.

​

The Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity (GOEO)

GOEO seeks to support targeting industries including advanced manufacturing with its mission to cultivate economic prosperity for all Utahns by developing and sustaining the world’s greatest economy and quality of life.

​

Utah Energy was awarded Economic Development Tax Increment Financing (EDTIF) incentives by GOEO for its advanced manufacturing mission and potential future developments. EDTIFs are a post-performance incentive and emphasize community strength and service. A company like Utah Energy only earns a benefit after it delivers on its development goals for the State.

​

GOEO is also proactive in supporting Operation Gigawatt. In June 2025, GOEO and Utah’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) organized a fact-finding mission to the United Kingdom to learn about nuclear power, safety, and technology to further support Utah’s nuclear ecosystem.

​

Utah’s Nuclear Industry

Utah’s nuclear industry has a rich history and a promising future. The state is home to both uranium mining and milling operations, dating back over 100 years and supporting hundreds of jobs in our local communities. 

​

Through Operation Gigawatt and the Strategic Nuclear Pathway, Utah is poised to advance the nuclear ecosystem and deploy clean, reliable power across the state and the nation.

As noted by Governor Spencer Cox at the Built Here: Nuclear Energy Summit, “the West will lead the next chapter of energy abundance and American prosperity.”

What is Utah Energy?

Utah Energy is an American technology company developing and manufacturing advanced hardware for the nuclear industry. The company will deploy that advanced hardware in support of the nuclear fuel supply chain.

​

Who are Utah Energy’s Investors?

Utah Energy is a private company, and we are not currently accepting outside investors. Our investor base consists entirely of American individuals and institutions.

​

What is Utah Energy developing at Camp Williams?

Utah Energy is pursuing the development of an advanced manufacturing center at Camp Williams, a Utah National Guard military installation. Essentially, the facility will be a large machine shop turning raw materials into advanced manufactured parts and machinery.

​

Future projects to support and onshore additional aspects of the front end of the nuclear fuel supply chain are under evaluation by Utah Energy.

​

How will Utah Energy Support the Local and State Community?

Utah Energy will generate hundreds of advanced manufacturing jobs and is dedicated to hiring and developing the workforce surrounding the greater Camp Williams area.

Utah Energy will also leverage state and local resources to identify and support local organizations and vendors throughout its construction and ongoing operations.

​

What happens if the project falls through?

The development of the Camp Williams site is part of MIDA’s pursuit for regional economic growth. If our project does not move forward, additional opportunities may be brought to the site through the support of MIDA.

​

Will Utah Energy Projects Involve Special Nuclear Material?

At this time, Utah Energy is focused on manufacturing technology and hardware for the nuclear industry, which does not involve special nuclear material.

Utah Energy is evaluating the future feasibility of developing and operating a nuclear fuel facility.

​

Should Utah Energy proceed with development of a fuel facility, it will undertake a comprehensive assessment of potential impacts to public safety and the environment as required under NRC licensing and state-level permitting. Effective mitigation strategies will be integrated across all phases of design, construction, and operation. We will also engage with local communities and stakeholders throughout the process to ensure transparency, address concerns, and incorporate feedback into project planning and implementation.

​

What’s the Difference Between Nuclear Fuel Facilities and Reactors?

Fuel facilities produce, process, or manage nuclear materials, while reactors use those materials to generate energy through controlled fission.

​

What are the safety considerations and risks associated with nuclear fuel facilities?

Nuclear fuel facilities are designed with safety as their top priority. The uranium handled at these sites has not undergone the fission process, meaning it emits very low levels of radiation, thousands of times less than the fuel used in an operating nuclear reactor.

​

These facilities follow strict safety rules set by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and state agencies. They are built and operated with multiple layers of protection and oversight to keep workers, communities, and the environment safe. Regular inspections, continuous monitoring, and emergency preparedness plans all help ensure that operations stay secure and responsible.

​

What is the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)?

The NRC regulates the use of nuclear materials in the United States. Its primary role is to ensure nuclear facilities operate safely and securely. Everything it does centers on protecting people and the environment.

​

What’s the Process to License, Develop, and Operate a Nuclear Facility?

Fuel cycle facilities and nuclear power plants undergo an extensive license application and approval process. Upon approval for development and operation, companies and sites are continually monitored by the NRC through construction and the lifetime of its operations.
