Company has leased the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab (USREL) in central Utah, expanding its molten salt reactor (MSR) program beyond research-grade testing and fuel qualification to accelerate deployment of its first reactor.

ABILENE, Texas, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Natura Resources LLC (Natura) recently announced that the company intends to enter into a strategic lease agreement for the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab (USREL), in Emery County, Utah to advance development of its advanced molten salt reactor (MSR). USREL is equipped with specialized facilities capable of measuring the scientific properties and characteristics of molten salts — key data required for regulatory qualification and reactor licensing. The lab also supports research into medical isotope production, a complementary area of innovation that leverages the unique properties of Natura’s liquid-fuel salt reactor design.

“This agreement supports the precision testing that gets us closer to a critical, commercial-stage reactor,” said Doug Robison, Natura Resources Founder and CEO. “USREL provides the national lab-grade environment and instrumentation required to generate data with the qualifications necessary for regulatory approval, bringing the promise of Natura’s molten salt technology one step closer to commercial operations.”

Unlike traditional solid-fuel reactors, Natura’s MSR uses liquid fuel, a defining feature that enables inherent safety advantages, simplified fuel recycling, and potential for large-scale medical isotope production. These features collectively make MSRs more efficient, versatile, and cost-effective, with the ability to generate clean energy while producing valuable isotopes.

The lab will play a central role in fuel salt qualification, measuring critical properties such as density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity under nuclear-quality assurance standards (NQA-1). This data underpins the safety and performance modeling necessary for operating Natura’s MSR-1 reactor, which is currently under construction at the Science and Engineering Research Center (SERC) in Abilene.

Natura is also exploring future use of USREL as a hub for fuel synthesis, the process of converting uranium metal to uranium fluoride, as well as salt recycling to support closed-loop fuel operations.

“USREL is an enabling asset for the next phase of our mission,” said Jordan Robison, Natura Resources COO. “It brings together the research capabilities, infrastructure, industrial partnerships, and regulatory quality needed to transition molten salt technology from the lab to the grid and beyond.”

The lease reflects Natura’s continued progress in developing the infrastructure and partnerships required to demonstrate the first commercial-scale, liquid-fueled molten salt reactor in the nation, advancing U.S. energy abundance, and supporting the Trump Administration and the Department of Energy’s broader goals for American energy dominance.

Project supports the Reimagine Middle Branch initiative, restores


coastal ecosystem


and


improves water quality.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MedStar Health has launched a major collaborative wetland restoration effort that is transforming more than 2,000 linear feet of degraded shoreline along the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River and reestablishes approximately seven acres of diverse coastal ecosystem. The MedStar Harbor Hospital Wetlands Project, part of the broader Reimagine Middle Branch Plan, will help reduce flood risk by absorbing storm surges, improve water quality by filtering pollutants, and re-establish vital ecosystem and green space that were once prominent along South Baltimore’s waterfront.

The project is part of the Middle Branch Resiliency Initiative (MBRI), the restoration arm of the Reimagine Middle Branch Plan adopted by the City of Baltimore in 2023. The initiative seeks to reconnect South Baltimore communities with a cleaner, greener waterfront and to one another. Developed in 2019 through a partnership between the South Baltimore Gateway Partnership (SBGP), GreenVest, LLC, and MedStar Harbor Hospital’s Green & Wellness Team, the project was made possible through MedStar Harbor’s land access and collaboration to secure funding and approvals, helping launch this early phase of the MBRI.

This project, expected to be completed by the end of 2026, represents a long-term commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being. Restoring wetlands strengthen coastal resilience while supporting a healthier ecosystem and increased waterfront greenspace for generations to come.

“MedStar Harbor Hospital has always been a proud neighbor in South Baltimore, and this project is an investment in our community’s health and future,” said Jill Donaldson, president of MedStar Harbor Hospital and senior vice president of MedStar Health. “We’re very excited to see this project underway. It means restoring the wetlands that once thrived along this shoreline, reducing the floods that have plagued South Baltimore, and improving the quality of water that flows into the Chesapeake Bay. It’s creating a living landscape for our patients, their families, our associates, and the community.”

“MedStar Harbor Hospital has been an incredible partner in advancing the vision of a healthier, more resilient South Baltimore,” said Brad Rogers, executive director of the South Baltimore Gateway Partnership. “Their leadership made it possible to launch the ambitious campaign to restore over 50 acres of wetlands in the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River. It’s a great example of local institutions stepping up for the environment and their neighbors.”

The MedStar Harbor Hospital Wetlands Project involves restoring wetlands and other habitat features using stone, sand, wood, and native vegetation. Work will occur Monday through Friday during regular business hours. While some construction noise and truck deliveries are expected, there will be no major traffic impacts. The parking lot south of the hospital and a short section of the adjoining trail will be temporarily closed during construction.

Before this effort began, wetlands had largely disappeared from this portion of the river. Their return will re-establish critical habitat for fish, birds, and native plants while improving stormwater management and coastal resilience.

“The Reimagine Middle Branch plan is about creating a stronger, more connected waterfront for all of Baltimore,” said Brian Gray, director of clinical engineering at MedStar Harbor, and the hospital’s sustainability officer. “Projects like this one at MedStar Harbor Hospital show how environmental restoration and community well-being can go hand in hand.”

Design for MedStar Harbor Hospital Wetlands was made possible with funding from Baltimore County, the Federal Emergency Management Agency in partnership with Maryland Department of Emergency Management, and through a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, with support from AT&T and NOAA. Construction of this site is made possible by funding from the Maryland Department of the Environment in partnership with Baltimore City Department of Public Works, Baltimore County, and Maryland’s Whole Watershed Act and Fund.

Packers tight end Luke Musgrave helps celebrate the 5th year of the “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch” campaign, benefiting charities across Northeast Wisconsin.

APPLETON, Wis., Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave joined representatives from Tork®, an Essity® brand, the Green Bay Packers and Rawhide Youth Services to celebrate a donation of $25,000 in sustainable hygiene products to Rawhide Youth Services.

The donation is the result of the 5th annual “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch” campaign, which ran through the first five home games of the Packers’ 2025 season and aimed to raise awareness about the importance of hand hygiene and sustainability. For every completed reception during those games, Tork pledged to donate $250 worth of sustainably produced hygiene products, including paper towel rolls and toilet paper, to Rawhide Youth Services.

With 100 catches recorded in the first five home games, the campaign generated $25,000 in essential hygiene products for Rawhide’s residential and community-based programs. This brings the total donated by Tork through “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch” over the last five seasons to $136,750 in sustainable hygiene products for local charities in Northeast Wisconsin and the Milwaukee area.

“Each season, ‘Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch’ gives our fans another reason to cheer,” said Justin Wolf, Director of Corporate Partnerships Sales & Activations for the Green Bay Packers. “We’re proud to work with Tork and Rawhide Youth Services to turn on-field success into real impact for kids and families across Wisconsin.”

Maintaining clean, hygienic environments is critical at large venues like Lambeau Field, which welcomes more than 80,000 fans on gameday, as well as in community organizations that serve youth and families. “Together with the Packers, we are proud to spearhead community initiatives like ‘Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch’ to deliver hygienic experiences to fans while giving back to organizations like Rawhide,” said Cindy Stilp, Marketing Communications Director at Essity.

During the visit, Musgrave toured Rawhide’s New London campus, including the Bart and Cherry Starr Museum, and spent time meeting with youth and staff to learn more about the programs co-founded by John and Jan Gillespie and Packers legend Bart Starr and his wife, Cherry Starr.

“Rawhide is honored to be this year’s ‘Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch’ recipient,” said Alan Loux, president and CEO of Rawhide Youth Services. “These sustainable hygiene products help us provide a safe, healthy and dignified environment for the youth in our care, so they can focus on healing, learning and building a better future.”
