To handle this order, Teledyne Brown opened a new 200,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Huntsville and expects to add nearly 200 new jobs. The new facility triples Teledyne Brown’s previous manufacturing capabilities.

“This contract results from Teledyne Brown’s capabilities and reputation as a supplier of nuclear quality hardware,” said Teledyne president Rex D. Geveden. “It is a key milestone in the company’s expansion of its share of the nuclear manufacturing market.”

This order is in addition to the previously announced $19.4 million contract from USEC Inc. 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. Fluor Corp. is responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction management of USEC’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio.
