Lynchburg, Va.-based BWX Technologies has been awarded U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program contracts, worth a total of $2.1 billion, to manufacture reactor components, the company announced Wednesday.
The BWXT Nuclear Operations Group will manufacture naval nuclear reactor components and procure materials for Columbia and Virginia-class submarines, according to the company’s press release. The lifespan of the contracts extend until 2030.
These recent contracts complement a $300 million fuel contract obtained from Nuclear Fuel Services, a subsidiary of BWXT, in October 2023.
“For more than 70 years, BWXT has proudly supported the U.S. Navy’s mission to defend freedom and uphold security across the globe,” Gary Camper, BWXT Nuclear Operations Group’s president, said in the release. “These contracts represent not just our unmatched expertise in naval nuclear power but also our dedication to empowering the Navy with the tools needed to ensure the seas remain free and open.”
