Bechtel Plant Machinery, Inc. (BPMI)

Since the late 1950s, BPMI has been a dedicated prime contractor—a company that has a direct contract with the federal government—for the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP). We support the design, purchase, quality control, and delivery of major nuclear propulsion plant components installed on the U.S. Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, submarines, and prototype plants.
