What does it take to reshape what's possible in American energy? Passion, dedication, and relentless innovation and engineering. The Road to Advanced Nuclear captures that spirit across an entire industry - highlighting the innovation, expertise and collaboration driving our industry forward. It was an honor to contribute to this film and to represent the incredible work happening at BWXT and across our sector. Advanced nuclear will play a critical role in strengthening America’s energy future, and it’s the people behind the work who are making that future possible. Watch the clip below to hear my take. I'd encourage you to watch the full film and share with a colleague. https://lnkd.in/eXT2n4UA #TheRoadToAdvancedNuclear #AdvancedNuclear #BWXT
In 1951, four small lightbulbs flickered to life by nuclear energy in the Idaho desert and changed the world forever. ⚛️ 💡 After five decades of continuous milestones, nearly every nuclear reactor in the world has ties to Idaho National Laboratory. Now, INL is leading the most ambitious nuclear energy push since Apollo 11. "When we achieve three criticalities by July 4th, we're not done there. That's not the end. It will mark the beginning of this new nuclear era. After those initial criticalities, we'll see more commercial units being demonstrated and a massive growth in nuclear energy for this country and beyond." - INL Director John Wagner Watch the full documentary to meet the scientists, engineers and companies building the advanced nuclear reactors that will power America's future: https://lnkd.in/eB9P2xWQ U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy | U.S. Department of Energy #NuclearEnergy #NuclearReactors #EnergyDominance #NuclearRenaissance #AdvancedNuclear

Leaders from across BWXT visited the Pantex Plant last week to meet with teams who support one of the United States’ most important national security missions. The visit provided an opportunity to connect directly with the dedicated workforce that keeps this site operating safely, securely and with exceptional professionalism every day. We were especially grateful for the chance to meet the patriotic Americans whose skill, commitment and pride drive this mission forward. Hearing their stories and seeing their dedication firsthand was a powerful reminder of the people who work every day to help keep our country safe. #NationalSecurity #MissionDriven #BWXT

We spent the day with the outstanding young women participating in Leadership Lynchburg’s 4th Annual SHE Week. Michelle Lee, director of our Lynchburg Technology Center, shared insights from her 25‑year career at BWXT with local high school students, underscoring how curiosity, resilience and a willingness to take on new challenges can shape a long, meaningful path in science and engineering. We appreciate Leadership Lynchburg’s commitment to developing talent and creating opportunities that support the long‑term success of the Lynchburg community. #WomenInSTEM #Leadership #STEMEducation

For generations, America’s progress has depended on hard work and innovation done here at home. That commitment continues in the complex, precision built nuclear components our teams produce across the country to support national security and drive nuclear innovation. As America 250 nears, BWXT is proud to recognize the people and craftsmanship behind components and nuclear tech built in the USA. Every day, our work strengthens our nation and helps ensure these critical capabilities remain in the United States for generations to come. #America250 #MadeInAmerica #Manufacturing #Engineering #Nuclear

Throughout our history, America has never stood still. At every critical juncture, our country has asked its citizens to step forward, push boundaries and build something stronger than what came before. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, I’ve been reflecting on the defining moments that shaped who we are and the calls to action that moved ordinary people to do extraordinary things. #America250 #BWXT

Project Pele is advancing deeper into the engineered build sequence as our team continues progressing through the core‑stacking phase. The Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis is currently under review with the U.S. Department of Energy, and component manufacturing continues across our facilities in Barberton, Euclid and the BWXT Innovation Campus. These coordinated efforts move us closer to delivering the Pele reactor and fully integrated power plant.
