History

NFS was established and strategically located between the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, TN., and the Savannah River Site in Aiken, S.C.

NFS produced thorium rods for America’s first commercial reactor.

The Naval fuels production plant was constructed at the site.

NFS produced fuel for America’s first light water breeder reactor.

NFS delivered fuel for the U.S. Navy’s USS Nimitz aircraft carrier.

NFS manufactured mixed oxide fuel for the Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor (SEFOR).

NFS Research and Development center validated a new naval fuel process.

NFS was the first U.S. company to reach agreement with Russian Federation for high enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) downblending.

NFS partnered with Fluor for America’s largest Department of Energy (DOE) clean up at Fernald, OH.

NFS constructed the Advanced Naval Fuel Manufacturing Facility.

NFS used a process it designed and patented to downblend HEU to LEU.

NFS successfully competed for a contract to downblend DOE-supplied HEU to LEU for use in Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) commercial power reactors.

NFS delivered the first downblended HEU from the Blended Low Enriched Uranium (BLEU) Project to TVA.

BLEU Project won Global Energy Award.

NFS is a member of the winning teams at DOE facilities - Paducah and Nevada Test Site.

BWXT, formerly known as Babcock & Wilcox (B&W), finalized the purchase of NFS from NFS Holdings, LLC.

NFS partnered with Westinghouse and was awarded a 12 metric tons downblending contract.

NFS awarded two new contracts for fuel and materials services totaling up to approximately $302 million from the DOE, Naval Reactors Laboratory Field Office.

NFS was awarded a contract valued at $241.5 million for the downblending of 10.4 metric tons of surplus HEU.

NFS received contract totaling approximately $141.7 million for fuel manufacture, development activities, and decommissioning work in support of the nation’s nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers.

NFS celebrated 60 years of service.

NFS achieves 5 million work hours without a lost time injury.

NFS pledges $100,000 in support of new Engineering program at Milligan College.
