The Huntington Ingalls Industries-led legacy waste contractor at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico won 95% of its total available fee from the Department of Energy in fiscal 2025.
Newport News Nuclear BWXT)-Los Alamos (N3B) earned more than $15.8 million out of a potential $16.7 million in fee for its 12 months of cleanup work ending Sept. 30, 2025, according to a fee scorecard issued by DOE in December.
The fee scorecard document gave N3B high marks for supporting the National Nuclear Security Administration’s successful depressurization of four flanged tritium waste containers that had been stored in an Environmental Management area at Technical Area-54, Area G at Los Alamos.
One area for potential improvement is “strengthening strategic messaging & public communications,” according to the document.
The N3B numbers include 100% of the fee for meeting objective performance-based criteria and 82% of its subjective review by DOE, according to the document.
A year earlier N3B picketed 82% of its subjective fee and 79% of its total available fee for fiscal 2024.
