NNSA awards BWXT $1.5B defense fuels contract
The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration has awarded BWX Technologies a contract valued at $1.5 billion to build a Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) pilot plant in Tennessee in support of the administration’s efforts to build out a domestic supply of unobligated enriched uranium for defense-related nuclear fuel.

The population distribution surrounding a site proposed for a nuclear power plant is an important consideration in the site selection process, and is relevant to both siting and environmental aspects of nuclear power plant siting. In addition, the reactor site criteria specified in 10 CFR Part 100 requires that the surrounding population be given consideration in the siting and design of the facility. Developing methods of analyzing the population distribution characteristics of alternative sites (as discussed in the environmental report for construction of a nuclear power plant) is necessary to arrive at a conclusion regarding the desirability of a proposed site.
