CALIFORNIA

Livermore

The University of California manages the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for the Department of Energy. In 1952, the laboratory opened with the hopes of further progressing the United States's hydrogen bomb. Beginning October 1, 2007, the laboratory will be under the ownership of UCA, Bechtel, BWX Technologies, Washington Group International and Batelle Memorial Institute for the DOE and NNSA. The nuclear facility aims to promote national nuclear safety, conduct programs detailed by NNSA and the Department of Energy, and oversee work of industrial contractors and grantees.

NEBRASKA

Offutt: Strategic Air Command Headquarters

The SAC is an establishment of the United States Air Force in charge of American’s bomber-based and ballistic missile based strategic nuclear arsenal from 1946-1992. The headquarters in Nebraska produced the Enola Gay and Bock’s Car aircrafts, the B-29s that dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The base is still active today, and is the location of the Air Force Weather Agency and Strategic Air Command Museum.

NEVADA

Nevada

The Nevada Site Office is based at the Nevada Test Site, formerly the Nevada Proving Ground. The NSO currently aims to support stockpile stewardship of the nation’s enduring nuclear weapons stockpile, environmental management, and emergency response and technology diversification. The Nevada Test Site saw 928 announced nuclear tests between 1951 and 1992. While there are no longer nuclear tests at Nevada, the site still holds sub critical tests to check the viability of the lasting stockpile. The facility holds monthly tours of the test site, although taking pictures and souvenir materials is prohibited.

NEW YORK

Schenectady Naval Reactors

Schenectady, New York, operates two nuclear reactor facilities under the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. In 1950 General Electric and the United States Government converted the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory into a Naval Nuclear Propulsion Project. In 1993 the Department of Energy controlled the lab by KAPL, Inc, a company owned by Lockheed Martin. The Naval Reactors facility exists for research and development, design, fabrication, construction, testing, operation and improvement of assigned naval propulsion plants; procurement of reactor cores, and other work assigned by the Office of the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors.

PENNSYLVANIA

Pittsburgh Naval Reactors

The Bettis Laboratory in West Miflin, Pennsylvania is dedicated to the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, which is a joint Navy-DOE program responsible for design and development of nuclear power for the US Navy. At its founding in 1949, the lab was run for the DOE by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. In 1999, Bechtel, Bettis Incorporated took over the contract and continues to focus on developing advanced naval nuclear propulsion.

SOUTH CAROLINA

Savannah River

The Savannah River Site, operated for the DOE by the Washington Group International, Bechtel, BNG America Energy Solutions and BWXT, is engaged committed to safe management of nuclear weapons stockpile, nuclear materials and the environment. Its primary missions are Limited-Life Component Exchange, Reservoir Surveillance, and Tritium Extraction. The site has been operational since the 1950s.
