BWXT Divests U.S. Nuclear Services Portfolio

In a cashless transaction, BWXT will be given the 11 acres of land from Framatome and a center.

“This strategic divestiture suggests a much better focus on our core government nuclear manufacturing and website operations businesses,” said Rex Geveden, BWXT’s president and chief executive officer. “Adding a top nuclear-qualified manufacturing center to our footprint also enables growth into space and defense microreactors.”

Under the conditions of the agreement, BWXT will transition contracts, equipment and intellectual property. BWXT will assume possession and occupancy of the Framatome facility located near one of the Virginia production sites of BWXT.

BWXT’s manufacturing and services business is not a part of this transaction and will continue its work overseas and in North America.

North Inlet Advisors, LLC served as financial advisor to BWXT for this particular transaction.
