Acceptance of BWXT’s proposal followed a competitive process selecting two companies to advance a multi-phase approach for Lithium Processing Facility construction. In phase one (a four-month, $4 million contract), NNSA will evaluate both companies’ conceptual designs for the facility’s Machining and Inspection Module. At the second phase of design completion, NNSA then intends to down-select to one company and initiate the third phase of contract negotiations for construction of the module with one single qualified developer team. Additional modules of the Lithium Processing Facility would be designed and built under separate contracts.
