About us
The Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP), or Naval Reactors, is a joint Department of Navy and Department of Energy organization responsible for all matters pertaining to U.S. Navy nuclear propulsion. The NNPP’s conservative design practices and stringent operating procedures have resulted in the demonstrated safety record of naval nuclear propulsion plants. The mission of the Naval Reactors, is to provide militarily effective nuclear propulsion plants and ensure their safe, reliable, and long-lived operation. This mission requires the combination of fully trained U.S. Navy men and women with ships that excel in endurance, stealth, speed, and independence from logistics supply chains. Naval Reactors organic statute, 50 U.S.C. §§ 2406, 2511, codifying Presidential Executive Order 12344 set forth the total responsibility of Naval Reactors for all aspects of the Navy's nuclear propulsion, including research, design, construction, testing, operation, maintenance, and ultimate disposition of naval nuclear propulsion plants. The Program's responsibility includes all related facilities, radiological controls, environmental safety, and health matters, as well as selection, training, and assignment of personnel. All of this work is accomplished by a lean network of dedicated research laboratories, nuclear-capable shipyards, equipment contractors and suppliers, and training facilities that are centrally controlled by a small headquarters staff.

#peoplegetthingsdone In support of the Norfolk Naval Shipyard workforce, the shipyard has has begun the rollout of individual, trade-specific toolkits to its employees, beginning with the Piping Department, Code 960. “These are high-quality tools and brand new, straight from the vendor to the kits,” said Laura Herrin, Code 900 Process Improvement Director. “Every toolkit comes with a backpack, headlamp, flashlight, multi-tool, and product line workbook included. The workbooks help with new employees coming in and getting a visual and description of the tools.” #maintenancematters | #nuclearfleet | #teamnavalreactors Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eUimN9xi

The first Royal Australian Navy officer qualified on a nuclear-powered Virginia-class submarine in a pier-side ceremony at Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka. Rear Adm. Chris Cavanaugh, commander, Submarine Group 7 awarded the first US Navy Submarine Warfare Device to a Royal Australian Navy submariner assigned to USS Vermont (SSN 792), demonstrating another significant milestone for the trilateral security partnership #AUKUS. "It is always an honor to pin dolphins on a Sailor's uniform and welcome them into an elite community of undersea warfighters,” said Cavanaugh. “Today’s pinning represents the strength of the alliance and our continued progress under the AUKUS agreement. This was an historic pinning, but it is only the first of many to come.” #technicalexcellence | #harnesstheatom | #peoplegetthingsdone Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ePEgMzBv

#peoplegetthingsdone Cmdr. Isaac Pelt is relieved by Cmdr. Jeffrey Cornielle as commanding officer of the Virginia-class fast-attack submarine USS Minnesota (SSN 783) during a change of command ceremony held onboard U.S. Naval Base Guam. "I couldn’t be prouder of this crew," said Pelt. "The Sailors of Minnesota are among the most highly trained and skilled individuals in the Navy. At every step, they demonstrated unmatched professionalism and unwavering dedication, ensuring our ship was ready to return to the fleet and support the Pacific Submarine Force. From maintenance to training, their exceptional efforts allowed them to excel in every challenge. It was an honor to serve as your commanding officer, and I look forward to witnessing the incredible achievements you will accomplish in the future." #harnesstheatom | #unmatchedpropulsion | #nuclearfleet
