BWX Technologies, Inc. announced the opening of its Centrifuge Manufacturing Development Facility (CMDF) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, marking a major milestone in the company's efforts to reestablish a fully domestic uranium enrichment capability in support of U.S. national security priorities. In September, the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) awarded BWXT a contract valued at $1.5 billion for a comprehensive program that supports the NNSA's strategy to ensure a secure and reliable supply of enriched uranium for defense fuel needs. The CMDF is a key element of that program.
The CMDF serves as BWXT's primary hub for the design, engineering, fabrication and testing of advanced gas centrifuge machines. The facility features precision manufacturing space, in-house quality assurance and testing capabilities and specialized infrastructure to support future centrifuge production. It will accelerate the transition of centrifuge technology from development to production readiness and aligns with national priorities for energy security, defense readiness and advanced manufacturing.
Located in Oak Ridge, a community with deep nuclear expertise, the facility builds on BWXT's longstanding role in supporting U.S. defense, energy and space programs. Approximately 100 highly skilled professionals are currently working in support of the CMDF and project activities, with plans to expand the workforce as manufacturing activities scale. The opening of the CMDF represents a key milestone in BWXT's broader strategy to establish a secure, domestic uranium enrichment supply chain and reinforces the company's commitment to U.S. national security and technological leadership.
