Nuclear
According to Bechtel's website:
- Since the earliest commercial nuclear reactors a half-century ago, Bechtel has played a pivotal role in every phase of the industry’s development. We have designed and/or built more than half of the nuclear power plants in the United States, and we currently provide operating services to many of those plants and others as well. Bechtel offers a complete selection of services, including plant recovery support, plant license renewal, steam generator replacement, and new nuclear generation. [5]
