STATEMENT OF WORK

1. BACKGROUND / PURPOSE

EX-LONG BEACH (CGN 9) was decommissioned in 1995 following over 30 years of service and later transferred to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF) in Bremerton, Washington for disposition. From 2012 – 2015, the ship was prepared and modified for long term waterborne storage having completed partial dismantlement that removed both her bow and stern sections. EX-LONG BEACH has two reactor plants housed in two propulsion plants inside the ship. As part of the decommissioning process, the nuclear fuel was removed from the two reactor plants and management of nuclear fuel is not included in the Contract Scope of Work. EX-LONG BEACH is now obsolete with no further use planned. Vessel remains pier-side at PSNS&IMF in Bremerton, Washington.

Note: The EX-LONG BEACH contains no physical equipment or arrangements that are controlled as classified. As such, the Navy expects that the activities supporting completion of this project, including the physical dismantlement work, as well as the preparation of contract proposals, technical work documents, and submittals provided for Government review, do not require specific classified information controls or classification. However, some of the technical documentation describing the EX-LONG BEACH contains U-NNPI. NNPI is all information, classified or unclassified, concerning the design, arrangement, development, manufacture, testing, operation, administration, training, maintenance, and repair of the propulsion plants of Navy nuclear-powered ships and prototypes including the associated shipboard and shore-based nuclear support facilities. Sensitive unclassified military technology is protected by several Federal statutes and export control regulations. Naval Nuclear Propulsion technology is subject to these controls. Hence, U-NNPI is protected and subject to these controls. The designation U-NNPI indicates that although the information is unclassified, it is subject to special handling controls, restricted access and distribution (export controls) and marking requirements and is not releasable to the general public without prior approval by the Government.
