“With Oak Ridge’s integral role in WWII with the Manhattan Project and forward-thinking leadership from Gov. Lee and our General Assembly members in creating the Nuclear Energy Fund, Tennessee is primed to become an epicenter for the nuclear industry. We’re grateful to partner with the Y-12 National Security Complex, ORNL and our other educational institutions across the state in providing the resources to enhance science, technology and training to support companies like BWXT. Congratulations to our partners and BWXT in bringing this project to fruition.” […]
“Creating job opportunities and bringing investment to the region is fundamental to TVA’s mission of service. We are proud to partner with the City of Oak Ridge Electric Department, Oak Ridge Industrial Development Board, Oak Ridge Corridor Development Agency, City of Oak Ridge, Roane County, Anderson County, East Tennessee Development Agency and the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development to further that mission and welcome BWXT to the region.
