A HISTORY OF INNOVATION

In 1956, BWXT designed and built the first privately financed and licensed nuclear experiment laboratory in the world at the Lynchburg Technology Center.  Since the 1960s, BWXT has designed and manufactured heavy nuclear components for the commercial nuclear power industry. And while other nuclear businesses lost their manufacturing proficiency with the decline in the commercial nuclear industry, BWXT continued to develop its nuclear strength by providing products and services for government customers.

Today, BWXT continues to manufacture heavy components and provide innovative nuclear services to its customers around the world.
