Bwx Technologies Inc Company Profile

BWX Technologies, Inc. is a specialty manufacturer of nuclear components and a service provider with an operating history of more than 100 years. Our core businesses focus on the design, engineering and manufacture of precision naval nuclear components, reactors and nuclear fuel for the U.S. Government. We also provide uranium processing and environmental site restoration services, as well as a variety of products and services to customers in the nuclear power industry. While we provide a wide range of products and services, our business segments are heavily focused on major projects. At any given time, a relatively small number of projects can represent a significant part of our operations.

We operate in three reportable segments: Nuclear Operations, Technical Services and Nuclear Energy.

Through this segment, we design, license, manufacture and deliver commercial nuclear steam generators, pressure vessels, reactor components, heat exchangers and other auxiliary equipment, including containers for the storage of spent nuclear fuel. This segment is also a significant supplier to nuclear power utilities undergoing major refurbishment projects and has supplied over 300 pressurized water reactor steam generators worldwide, as well as other critical plant components. In addition, this segment offers a full spectrum of services for steam generators and balance of plant equipment, as well as nondestructive examination and tooling/repair solutions for other plant systems and components. This segment also offers engineering and licensing services for new nuclear plant designs. Our in-depth knowledge comes from over 50 years of experience in the design, manufacturing, commissioning and service of nuclear power generation equipment.
This segment specializes in performing full scope, prototype design work coupled with manufacturing integration. The design, engineering and other capabilities of this segment include:

• steam separation equipment design and development;

• thermal-hydraulic design of reactor plant components;

• structural component design for precision manufacturing;

• materials expertise in high-strength, low-alloy steels and nickel-based materials;

• material procurement of tubing, forgings and weld wire; and

• metallographic and chemical analysis.

Our Nuclear Energy segment’s overall activity primarily depends on the demand and competitiveness of nuclear energy.
