The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded a contract extension to Lynchburg-based nuclear components and fuel supplier BWX Technologies Inc. (BWXT) worth up to $690 million, the company announced today.
BWXT has worked with Irving, Texas-based engineering and construction firm Fluor Corp. on the project, an effort to decontaminate and decommission the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio.
The new agreement, which took effect March 29, includes a one-year extension with two additional six-month options, BWXT said. The original contract was awarded in 2010.
