BWXT Subsidiary Books $1B in US Naval Nuclear Reactor Component Production Contracts

Jeff Brody

A subsidiary of BWX Technologies (NYSE: BWXT) has secured contracts worth potentially $1B from the U.S. Navy to produce reactor components for the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, a collaboration between the service branch and the Department of Energy.

BWXT said Monday its nuclear operations group will obtain materials and manufacture parts to support the construction of a Ford-class aircraft carrier.

The company booked an initial contract during 2019’s fourth quarter that accounts for around two-thirds of the award’s total estimated value and noted it expects the government to exercise the remaining option later this year.

Work will take place at NOG facilities within Indiana, Ohio and Virginia.

“We are proud to provide nuclear propulsion systems that enable U.S. Navy sailors and aviators to protect freedom around the globe,” said Rex Geveden, president and CEO of BWXT.

The overall potential value of contracts, including option periods, the company secured last year to perform additional naval nuclear propulsion technology work is nearly $4B.

The Department of Defense’s Strategic Capabilities Office established the Project Pele endeavor in 2019 with the goal of producing a transportable micronuclear reactor. This energy source would be secure, environmentally sound and able to generate one to five MegaWatts of electricity for at least three years of full-power operation. Ideally, the micro-reactor is primed for contested
