CAMBRIDGE, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT) announced today that its subsidiary
BWXT Canada Ltd. (BWXT Canada) has been awarded a contract valued at
approximately CA$642 million from Bruce Power to design and supply 32

The original contract for Bruce Power’s Unit 6 steam generators,
previously announced in July 2016 and amended in August 2017, has been

over 30 percent of Ontario’s electricity for decades. Work related to
this contract will commence immediately with deliveries occurring
through 2030.

“The steam generator contract allows us to secure very long-term work
for our Cambridge, Ontario facility, which sustains jobs for many of our
highly skilled and talented employees for many years to come,” said
President of BWXT Canada, John MacQuarrie. “The life extension of Bruce
Power’s nuclear reactors is vital to the supply of clean, low-cost and
reliable power for Ontarians, and we are so proud to be part of this
project.”

“This ‘Made in Ontario’ agreement is good news for employees of BWXT, as
well as the economy of the greater Cambridge area,” said Mike Rencheck,
Bruce Power’s President and CEO. “Bruce Power’s supply chain acquires 90
percent of its goods and services right in Ontario, investing $4 billion
into the province’s economy annually, while creating and sustaining
22,000 jobs directly and indirectly every year, including here in the
Cambridge area.”

Bryan May, Member of Parliament for Cambridge, said, “The award of this
contract by Bruce Power is a tremendous win for the City of Cambridge
and means jobs in Waterloo Region. I am proud to see BWXT Canada playing
a major role in ensuring the success of the most significant energy
infrastructure project for the Province of Ontario.”

“Today’s announcement is an indication of the incredible engineering and
manufacturing talent we have right here in Cambridge,” said Member of
Provincial Parliament for Cambridge, Kathryn McGarry. “I’m so pleased
that BWXT will continue to support Bruce Power in their contribution to
clean, low-cost and reliable power for Ontarians for many years to come.”
