BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) has announced significant leadership changes, with Kevin M. McCoy being appointed as the company’s Chief Nuclear Officer. McCoy, who previously served as President of BWXT’s government operations segment, brings over 40 years of leadership experience, having held positions such as Chief Engineer of the U.S. Navy and President of Irving Shipbuilding Inc. McCoy's extensive experience in shipyard operations and nuclear industrial operations positions him well to support the Department of Defense and Department of the Navy in accelerating submarine production programs for the U.S. Navy.

As a result of McCoy's new role, BWXT has made additional leadership announcements. Joseph K. Miller will succeed McCoy as President of Government Operations. Miller, who has been with BWXT since 2011, previously served as President of BWXT Advanced Technologies and has achieved significant growth in program content and successfully contracted two federally funded first-of-a-kind prototype programs for advanced nuclear microreactors under his leadership. Katherine (Kate) Haggerty Kelly will succeed Miller as President of BWXT Advanced Technologies. Kelly, who joined the company in 2012, has been recognized for her contributions to the space nuclear industry and her advocacy for promoting people in aerospace.

The company's press release also highlighted BWXT's strong position as a U.S.-based Fortune 1000 and Defense News Top 100 manufacturing and engineering innovator, providing nuclear solutions for global security, clean energy, environmental restoration, nuclear medicine, and space exploration. With nearly 10,000 employees and 20 major operating sites in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., BWXT and its affiliated companies play a significant role in providing safe and effective nuclear solutions.
