BWX Technologies, a dominant player in the nuclear components market, has been manufacturing and distributing nuclear components across the United States, Canada, and various other countries. The company operates through two distinct segments: Government Operations and Commercial Operations. The former specializes in producing naval nuclear components, reactors, and nuclear fuel, as well as fabricating missile launch tubes for U.S. Navy submarines. It also supplies valves, manifolds, and fittings to naval and commercial shipping customers. The Government Operations segment also manufactures close-tolerance equipment for nuclear applications, converts government stockpiles of high-enriched uranium, and creates research reactor fuel elements for colleges, universities, and national laboratories. The Commercial Operations segment, on the other hand, specializes in designing and manufacturing commercial nuclear steam generators, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and reactor components, as well as developing containers for the storage of nuclear fuel and other high-level nuclear waste. It also offers nuclear fuel, fuel handling systems, and precisely machined components, amongst other products and services. Moving beyond its rich history and strategic position in the market, BWX Technologies, previously called The Babcock & Wilcox Company, has been thriving since its inception in 1867 and has its headquarters in Lynchburg, Virginia.
