Planning Engineer

The Bettis Laboratory is operated by Bechtel Bettis, Inc. for the Department of Energy. More than 50 years ago, the Laboratory was established to develop a prototype nuclear power plant for submarine propulsion. The result was the design for the reactor plant which powered the USS NAUTILUS, the first nuclear-powered submarine. Since then, Bettis has continued to play a key role in the success of the Nuclear Navy through new reactor designs and support of the existing fleet. Most recently, Bettis completed the design of the reactor plant for the Seawolf class of attack submarines. Bettis maintains technical leadership through the high standards of its employees and a commitment to maintaining world-class testing facilities and computer systems.

Bettis Laboratory employees work at several locations. The main site, located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is primarily responsible for fleet support and research and development of new reactor systems and designs. Other Bettis sites are located in Charleston, South Carolina, and Idaho Falls, Idaho, and a few employees are assigned to shipyards throughout the United States.
