The recent core barrel installation for #ProjectPele marks a significant step forward in strengthening our deployable nuclear power capabilities. This milestone was made possible by a dedicated team of more than 150 highly skilled professionals in Lynchburg, VA, whose expertise demonstrates the disciplined execution and craftsmanship required to advance critical nuclear technologies.   Pele is engineered to deliver mission‑critical power to remote military locations within 72 hours, sustaining operations for three years without refueling. Achieving reliable energy in remote, austere environments requires both advanced technology and exceptional people bringing deep nuclear expertise to every step of the process.   This achievement reflects the highly skilled trades, professional excellence and commitment our teams bring as we expand capabilities that will support the next generation of nuclear systems. Thank you to everyone involved for the precision, professionalism and dedication that continue to move this program forward.
