More Big Companies, Another University Hopeful, Looking at DoE Nuke Production-Site Contract

摘要

A pair of university systems plus just about every major contractor to run the sites in the last decade-plus were among the 49 entities whose representatives toured the Y-12 National Security Site and the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas, last month as part of a competition to find a new site manager for those nuclear-weapons production sites. The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) held site tours Sept. 22 at Y-12 and Sept. 24, after which some industry people said there appeared to be major three teams forming: one including former incumbent BWX Technologies [BWXT], Lynchburg, Va., and Honeywell [HON], Charlotte, N.C.; another with Fluor Corp. [FLR], Irving, Texas, and Amentum, Germantown, Md.; and a third including Bechtel National, which is the lead partner on outgoing incumbent Consolidated Nuclear Security (CNS).
