Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC (CNS) operates Pantex and Y-12 under the same contract. CNS combines the resources of Bechtel National, Inc., Leidos, Inc., Orbital ATK, Inc., SOC LLC, with Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. as a teaming subcontractor.[1]
The Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) is being built at the Y-12 National Security Complex by Consolidated Nuclear Security, a limited liability company of which Bechtel is a majority partner. The facility will be a multi-building, state of the art complex for enriched uranium operations related to nuclear security. It will not only ensure the long-term viability, safety, and security of the enriched uranium capability in the U.S. but also support the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile, the downblending of uranium to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and provide uranium for fuel for U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers. Currently, these unique capabilities reside in aging World War II and Cold War-era buildings that are inefficient and costly to operate and maintain.
