Teledyne Brown has opened a new manufacturing facility in Huntsville, Alabama, to handle the order and expects to add nearly 200 new jobs. The new facility triples the company’s manufacturing capabilities.
The order is in addition to the previously announced $19.4 million contract from USEC, to manufacture an initial complement of 36 service modules. The modules are a key component of USEC’s new gas centrifuge uranium enrichment plant which will supply fuel for commercial nuclear power plants.
Robert Mehrabian, chairman and CEO of Teledyne Technologies, said: This contract results from Teledyne Brown’s capabilities and reputation as a supplier of nuclear quality hardware.
