“Brigham City is stepping up as a leader in the nuclear renaissance.
Through Operation Gigawatt and a new partnership between Hi Tech Solutions, Holtec International, our universities, and state and local leaders, we will manufacture advanced reactor components, train a world-class workforce, and ensure reliable, affordable power for Utah and the nation.
Utah is building energy security, national security, and opportunity for generations to come.”
— Utah Governor Spencer Cox
“Plans are underway for a full nuclear power ecosystem that will help power our state. Utah is proving once again that we’re the best place for innovation and energy development.
The goal is that when families open their utility bills, they see the lowest energy costs in the nation — and this project helps make that possible.
Grateful to Hi-Tech and Holtec for their partnership and vision.”
— Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz
“Utah is driving the nuclear revival. Brigham City’s new effort to manufacture advanced reactor parts and train a skilled workforce to support new nuclear energy deployment shows how communities can shape the future of American energy.
This is a smart move for our state and another step toward achieving American Energy Dominance.”
— U.S. Senator Mike Lee, Chairman of Energy & Natural Resources Committee
“Utah is at the forefront of innovation. Our partnership with Hi-Tech and Holtec is a win Utah and the nation because it propels us toward a more secure, competitive energy future that fuels economic growth and attracts new industries. Most importantly, it’s strengthening the resources that will power for our state and our nation for generations to come.”
— Utah Senate President Stuart Adams
“As a recipient, we constantly get approached about helping veterans and providing a better standard of living for them, and most of the time, that’s always once the veteran needs the help,” Plumlee began, later adding, “It’s a very Utah solution — I think — to skip that process, take that young person who wrote a check up to and including his life, on behalf of his country, and grab him and let him keep his pride and dignity, and give him a new profession.”
— Retired U.S. Army Master & Medal of Honor Recipient Sgt. Earl Plumlee
“This project brings $750 million in private capital, 700 construction jobs, and 650 long-term operational roles. These are high-paying, high-impact jobs that will make a real difference for Utah... A fleet approach that drives down costs and standardizes production is critical for Utah and for the nation’s nuclear future.”
— Executive Director of GOEO, Jeff Moss
