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. Additional contract terms encompasses construction project management at the Y-12 Uranium Processing Facility and a contract option for the consortium to produce tritium at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina.
