Valar's April 7, 2025 post 'Valar Atomics is Suing the NRC' contains the claim that holding Ward One's spent fuel for five minutes gives the same exposure as a CAT scan (orig-017). Read in late September 2026, the page carries a robots meta tag, 'noindex, nofollow', which asks search engines not to list it, and the site's page data marks it 'disableIndex: true'; no other Valar library post carries the tag. Internet Archive copies of the page from April 8, 2025 through March 23, 2026 have no such tag; copies from July 22 and August 25, 2026 have it. In every copy the claim's text is unchanged, and no correction or note has been added. The post is still listed in Valar's own library, so visitors to the site can still find it. The tag appeared some time after March 23, 2026. The record does not show who added it or why.

In plain termsValar's post with the 'CAT scan' claim is still on its website, word for word. Sometime between late March and late July 2026 the page was tagged asking search engines not to list it, while it stays on the company's own site. No correction or withdrawal of the claim was found. No statement of why the tag was added was found in public records as of late September 2026.
verified 2026-10-02: Second check, late September 2026: live page and Internet Archive captures of 8 Apr 2025, 24 Aug 2025, 22 Dec 2025, 26 Feb 2026, 23 Mar 2026 (no robots tag) and 22 Jul 2026, 25 Aug 2026 (tag 'noindex, nofollow') re-read; the CAT-scan sentence is identical in all; library data marks only this post 'disableIndex: true'. Match. Corrected in late September 2026: the headline now says the tag asks search engines not to list the post, and the absence of a correction is stated as 'no correction found'. Reworded 30 Sep 2026: the detail and the plain-language text.
