BWXT Joint Venture Awarded $140 Million Site Decommissioning Contract

LYNCHBURG, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT) announced today that its BWSR, LLC
joint venture with APTIM has been awarded a two-year extension by
Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation (BMPC). The $140 million award is
inclusive of a $14 million option anticipated to be awarded in 2018.
There is also an option for a third year of work at a value to be
negotiated at a later date.

BWSR performs comprehensive D&D (decommissioning and demolition) and
infrastructure support work on complex systems, components and nuclear
work facilities at the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program project sites
that BMPC manages. BWSR operates at the Naval Reactors Facility in
Idaho, the Bettis Laboratory in Pennsylvania, the Knolls Laboratory in
New York, and the Kesselring Site in New York.

BWSR has conducted high consequence D&D and infrastructure support work
at these sites since October 2010. These activities include the complete
demolition of inactive facilities, as well as removal of complex systems
in operating nuclear facilities, to allow for new systems installations
without compromising ongoing facility operations.

“BWXT takes immense pride in supporting the Nuclear Navy through this
important infrastructure support and decommissioning program with our
partner, APTIM,” said Rex D. Geveden, BWXT’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. “We have a very successful track record at the Naval
Nuclear Propulsion Program sites, and we look forward to continuing
these efforts through BMPC.”

The contract extension takes effect October 1, 2017.
