Through this work, BWXT aims to help restore a fully domestic uranium enrichment capability for national defense and naval propulsion missions, building on decades of support to the nation\u2019s defense nuclear programs.<\/p>\n<p>\nBy notifying the NRC, BWXT is initiating the pre-application engagement process. During this period, the company will work closely with regulators to develop and submit a detailed license application that addresses facility design, safety systems, security programs and environmental requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cEstablishing reliable U.S. enrichment capacity is critical to ensuring the long-term availability of fuel for naval nuclear propulsion and other national security needs,\u201d said Rex D. Geveden, BWXT\u2019s president and chief executive officer. \u201cOur planned facility will leverage state-of-the-art centrifuge technology and BWXT\u2019s advanced manufacturing expertise to deliver a resilient and secure American supply of enriched uranium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe new enrichment facility will utilize technology developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory through the NNSA-funded Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE). The project at the Erwin facility will initially demonstrate enrichment in a production environment and will ultimately produce highly enriched uranium for the NNSA Naval Reactors program. Once operational\u2014expected around 2035\u2014the project will create approximately 100 high-skill jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\nBWXT selected the Erwin site because of its proximity to NFS and its ability to leverage existing NRC regulated nuclear operations, security and safety infrastructure, and a skilled local workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn January, BWXT opened its Centrifuge Manufacturing Development Facility (CMDF) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
