It operates primarily in Lynchburg, Va., Ohio and Cambridge, Ontario. BWX Technologies, Inc., formerly known as Babcock & Wilcox Company, is headquartered in Lynchburg, Va. " (8/9/2018)
- 2. Drexel Hamilton analysts commented, "We believe this is important because critics have implied that a neutron- capture approach, which BWXT uses, is not able to produce ‘High Specific Activity’/HSA Mo-99. Our view is that BWXT mgmt is very comfortable that its proprietary approach can produce an end-product that is plug and play for the medical isotope industry, and our understanding is that the firm has actually already demonstrated the process."
