April 28 (UPI) -- A BWXT subsidiary is to manufacture nuclear fuel and conduct other activities in support of U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers, the company announced Thursday.
The work by Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc., comes under $141.7 million in contract options from the U.S. Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program.
"NFS is dedicated to providing fuel and services of the highest quality to the U.S. Navy," Joel W. Duling, president of NFS, said in a press release. "Our entire workforce understands the significance of the work performed at NFS, and we take a lot of pride in the fact that our mission plays a key role in our country's defense efforts."
NFS has been the sole manufacturer of nuclear fuel for the U.S. Navy since 1964.
