Shipbuilders,

I’m happy to report that Newport News Shipbuilding has completed refueling overhaul work at the Kenneth A. Kesselring Site – part of the Naval Nuclear Laboratory – in West Milton, New York. NNS assumed responsibility for maintenance on nuclear reactor prototypes at the facility in 2012. Since then, thousands of shipbuilders have supported this critical work, both in Newport News and in New York.

The work of Kesselring shipbuilders furthered NNS’ already proud legacy of supporting the Navy’s Nuclear Propulsion Program. With the completion of our commitments at Kesselring, the facility is positioned to train U.S. Navy nuclear operators for years to come.

Please take a moment to watch this video regarding the end of our operations at Kesselring. The video is available on our NNS to Go app, MyNNS, HII’s YouTube Channel and NNS President Jennifer Boykin’s Facebook and LinkedIn pages.

Thank you to every shipbuilder who has supported this important work through the years.

Respectfully,
Mary Cullen
Vice President of Nuclear Propulsion
