Holtec International brings unmatched nuclear expertise to Utah’s energy future as the global leader managing spent fuel at more than 100 operating plants worldwide. The SMR-300 is the next step in nuclear power, built on 80 years of proven pressurized water reactor technology that powers most of the world’s nuclear fleet. As the only company offering complete lifecycle nuclear solutions—from manufacturing to decommissioning—Holtec delivers operational plants on schedule with technology trusted by utilities and regulators alike. Combining American innovation with global execution, Holtec is helping move Utah from vision to reliable baseload power that drives industry, supports data centers, and secures America’s energy independence.

The partnership between Hi Tech Solutions (HTS) and Holtec International represents a powerful alignment of Utah-based expertise and global nuclear innovation. Together, these companies are building the foundation for a complete nuclear energy ecosystem in Utah—spanning manufacturing, deployment, operations, and workforce development. This collaboration combines decades of operational experience with cutting-edge reactor design to advance safe, reliable, and American-made energy solutions that strengthen national security and economic opportunity.

Multiple sites are under consideration, and no specific location will be identified until required due diligence has been completed.

The project will follow all state and federal review requirements, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). That means formal public notices, comment periods, and public meetings will occur before any major permits are approved.

Residents will be able to share questions, comments, or concerns through the public input website and at future town halls or public meetings.

A full energy ecosystem means every stage of reliable power production—from design to delivery—happens here in Utah. This includes:

• Manufacturing advanced reactor components and equipment.

• Deploying and operating small modular reactors (SMRs) that provide baseload power.

• Partnering with utilities, including Brigham City Public Power and Fulcrum, to generate and deliver power directly to Utah communities and the regional grid.

• Training and developing the workforce through Utah’s universities and technical colleges.

• Maintaining and supporting operations through Utah based service providers.

All these elements create a self-sustaining energy system that powers Utah’s communities, industries, and defense installations—while keeping jobs, investment, and expertise in-state.

Most Utahns will notice little day-to-day change, but they’ll benefit from:

• More reliable power, especially for industry and households.

• Stable, high-paying jobs in construction, engineering, and operations.

• Expanded tax revenue that supports schools, infrastructure, and public safety without raising local tax rates.

• New education to career pathways so Utahns, including veterans, can train for and fill these advanced energy roles.

A strong and domestic nuclear industry is critical for the future of U.S. energy and national security.

By producing safe, reliable baseload power at home, Utah helps:

• Reduce reliance on foreign energy sources.

• Strengthen resilience for military installations and defense industries in Northern Utah.

• Demonstrate American leadership as China and Russia expand their nuclear programs.

Veterans bring unmatched skills in discipline, leadership, and precision, which are qualities vital to the nuclear and advanced-manufacturing sectors.

Hi Tech Solutions has committed to hiring 1,000+ veterans, with support from SkillBridge and the Department of War transition programs. These roles would provide veterans with high-impact, long-term careers while giving Utah employers a workforce that thrives on mission-driven teamwork.

The project will directly partner with Weber State University, Utah State University, the University of Utah, and Utah’s network of technical colleges. The goal is to:

• Develop certification and degree programs tied to nuclear technology, engineering, and energy management.

• Offer hands on training at the planned HTS Training Campus in Brigham City.

• Create internships, apprenticeships, and research collaborations that keep Utah talent local and competitive.

In short, it means students can train, graduate, and work in the same region by building Utah’s energy future without leaving home.
