We joined the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Bristol Motor Speedway to honor the 343 firefighters who gave their lives on September 11. Carrying the names and photos of fallen first responders, our team climbed 110 flights in recognition of their courage and the duty they upheld. This event continues to be meaningful for many of us, including BWXT security member, Chad Nelson, who completed his tenth consecutive climb. We’re grateful to every employee and volunteer who participated or supported the memorial. Your commitment helps us preserve the legacy of those who served.

The Tri‑Cities St. Jude Walk in Johnson City brought the community together in a meaningful way, and our team was glad to be part of it. Families in the region rely on the St. Jude Tri‑Cities Affiliate Clinic at Niswonger Children’s Hospital for specialized cancer and blood‑disorder care. By walking, we’re supporting both St. Jude’s national mission and the children and families here at home who depend on this vital work every day. #StJudeWalk #TriCitiesTN #BWXT

AI is helping unlock new efficiencies in one of the nation’s most important environmental cleanup missions. At our BWXT joint venture @SRMCompletion, engineers are pairing advanced technology with decades of nuclear expertise to accelerate the safe processing of hazards at the Savannah River Site. A great example of innovation delivering real mission impact.
This won’t get a lot of media attention, but there’s a story here — and it’s good for the taxpayer, better for the environment.   And it’s happening in Aiken and Barnwell Counties at the Savannah River Site. I thought it was compelling and wanted to share it with you. 
Skilled engineers leveraging AI to clean up millions of gallons of highly radioactive waste faster, which saves the taxpayer big time! public.srs.gov/2026/09/weir-…

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders and all those who stepped forward to serve in the days that followed. Twenty-five years later, we continue our remembrance – along with the families, communities and heroes who were forever impacted that day. We honor their memory and the unity shown in the face of tragedy.

Exciting Milestone Achieved! Our Project Pele prototype microreactor has received Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis (PDSA) regulatory approval from the U.S. Department of Energy, a major step forward for this groundbreaking program. We’re on track to finish the full build and deliver the unit to Idaho National Laboratory next year for fueling and testing. Once operational, this will become the first fully functioning power plant for the U.S. military and the Department of War, demonstrating a new era of resilient, scalable energy. Thank you to our team, our partners and the innovation driving this mission forward. #ProjectPele #BWXT #MicroReactor

In this Supplier Spotlight, we feature BWXT, a proud partner helping advance OPG's nuclear projects and operations. The company's facility in Cambridge is a key player for Ontario's nuclear sector, as it manufactures large, heavy nuclear components - from steam generators to heat exchangers. At this manufacturing hub, BWXT is now putting together the massive reactor pressure vessel that will form the heart of the G7's first SMR at Darlington. Workers are also machining, welding, and assembling the large steel vessels that will make up new steam generators for Pickering Nuclear's refurbishment. With nuclear demand growing, the company is now expanding its Cambridge facility to ensure it can continue to deliver heavy-duty components for OPG and the province.

Advanced reactors are becoming essential to meeting rising energy demands. At the Northern Virginia Chamber’s C‑Suite Roundtable, our president of Government Operations, Joe Miller, shared how SMRs and microreactors can strengthen grid resilience, support AI‑driven load growth and deliver reliable, zero‑carbon power where customers needed most. With growing requirements for decarbonization and energy independence, advanced reactors are the scalable solution. Backed by 75 years of nuclear expertise and expanded manufacturing capacity, BWXT is ready to move proven designs into deployment.

The U.S. Army selects BWXT for a historic step for U.S. energy resilience. The Army’s JANUS program is unlocking a new era of safe, flexible, advanced nuclear microreactors, including the BWXT Advanced Nuclear Reactor (BANR). Our long-standing work in reactor engineering, TRISO fuel development and advanced manufacturing — including our progress on Project Pele — provides a strong foundation as we begin phased work with the Army and DIU to deploy a BANR unit at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. 🔗Learn more about this important milestone: bwxt.com/u-s-army-chooses-bw… 🔗Learn more about BANR: bwxt.com/sectors/nuclear-ene…

BWXT and Applied Atomics are writing the next chapter of mPower – and it’s picking up where we left off, at the mPower’s Integrated Systems Test (IST) facility in Lynchburg, Virginia! Built years ago as an experimental platform, the IST now offers a valuable foundation for helping to solve today’s toughest energy challenges. Our teams are working together to enter a new era of nuclear deployment built on disciplined execution and real-world demand from utilities and hyperscalers. The IST facility helps make that possible by providing a controlled space to test, refine and learn. Watch the video below for a closer look at the facility described by the Washington Post as “sci‑fi‑worthy.” piped.video/8CMHEJdhTZI?si=BEZM…
