BWXT is the sole manufacturer of the nuclear reactors and fuel that power every US Navy submarine and aircraft carrier — a national-security monopoly the government cannot buy anywhere else. Around that naval core it builds commercial nuclear components, medical isotopes and next-gen microreactors (Project Pele, the DRACO space engine), all sitting on a $7.3B backlog.
