Y-12 National Security Complex

Consolidated Nuclear Security LLC, a team that includes Bechtel National Inc. and Lockheed Martin Services Inc., has won a five-year contract to manage and operate the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge and the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, Texas, federal officials announced Tuesday morning.

The winning team also includes ATK Launch Systems Inc. and SOC LLC. Besides managing and operating Y-12 and Pantex, Consolidated Nuclear Security, or CNS, will also manage construction of the Uranium Processing Facility at Y-12 and could manage tritium operations at the Savannah River Site near Aiken, S.C.
