The National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded a consortium led by Bechtel National and Lockheed Martin Services a contract worth upwards of $709 million to take over management of nuclear weapons facilities that include Y-12 and Pantex.

Subsidiaries of Babcock & Wilcox had held the management contracts at Y-12 and Pantex for 12 years. A B&W-led consortium and another group led by Fluor also bid for the new contract. It covers five years of operations at Y-12 in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and at Pantex near Amarillo, Texas, starting May 1, with an optional five-year extension.
