About this award
This $20,570,930 firm fixed price definitive contract was awarded by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to BWXT Nuclear Energy, Inc. to further the design of a low enriched uranium-based nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) engine as part of a three-year technology development project managed by NASA's Game Changing Development program. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Key subcontractors supporting the prime include Atkins Nuclear Solutions US, Inc., Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp, Innovative Technologies International (dba Novatech), Rhenium Alloys Inc., Edison Welding Institute Inc. (dba Buffalo Manufacturing Works), and Southern Research Institute. The overall goal is to determine the feasibility and affordability of an LEU-based NTP engine design with solid cost and schedule confidence.
Description
The work described in this statement of work (SOW) is part of a larger nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) project managed by marshall space flight center (msfc) under the national aeronautics and space administration (NASA) headquarters space technology mission directorate (stmd), game changing development (GCD) program. The overall goal of this three-year GCD technology project is to determine the feasibility and affordability of a low enriched uranium (LEU) based NTP engine with solid cost and schedule confidence. The activities described within this contract will further the design of the NTP LEU ceramic metallic (cermet) engine in the most efficient manner while continuing to reduce and possibly eliminate risks on the project.
