A Savannah River Nuclear Solutions employee got an award from the company for pulling a small child out of a busy road in November, the company wrote in a press release.
Sarah Prosser found the toddler wandering down “a busy four-lane highway) on Nov. 30, 2021, according to the release from the Department of Energy’s management and operations contractor at the site. Prosser turned the child over to the Aiken City Department of Public Safety, the release said.
An employee found a noose hanging at a construction site at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tenn., people including the outgoing congressman for Nashville, Tenn., said last week.
In a June 10 tweet, Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) said the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) notified him about the incident and that he wanted the eventual FBI report about the incident made public. Consolidated Nuclear Security, the site management contractor, said in a statement that “[a] noose blatantly violates our policies and work rules and will not be tolerated.”
BWX Technologies in April acquired Cunico Corp. and Dynamic Controls Ltd., sister companies that manufacture parts for global naval ships and submarines and liquified natural gas commercial shipping vessels.
The investment firm Houlihan Lokey, which advised Cunico and Dynamic Controls, announced the deal this week. Cunico, which is based in California, and Dynamic Controls, which is based in the United Kingdom, were owned and operated by Jack Flowers for decades.
BWX Technologies, which manufactures naval nuclear reactors and fuel, and commercial nuclear products, said in May in its first quarter earnings filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the price for the companies was $49.9 million.
Dynamic and Cunico provide highly-engineered proprietary valves, manifolds and fittings for naval nuclear and diesel electric submarines, surface warfare ships, and commercial shipping vessels. The companies have a global installed base of more than 61,000 cartridge vales and 87 main sea water systems on every nuclear-powered submarine in the U.S. and U.K., and other platforms in France, the Netherlands, Spain and India, Houlihan Lokey said.
