BWXT announced July 17 the award of U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program contracts totaling about $2.6 billion, including future year options, for manufacturing naval nuclear reactor components.

The contracts primarily support Virginia and Columbia-class submarines as well as some work for certain Ford-class aircraft carrier components, a news release states. Products contracted with these awards will be delivered during the next six to eight years.

“The BWXT team is proud to produce this essential hardware that allows the U.S. Navy to carry out its critical national security mission,” Gary Camper, BWXT’s Nuclear Operations Group president, said in the release. “That commitment to quality is the legacy that comes from our more than 70 years of service to the Navy.”
