The worldwide demand for energy has never been greater, and Bechtel is delivering it in a way no other company can match. Over the past half century, we've been a global leader in the design and construction of fossil- and nuclear-fueled power plants. Today, we also lead in the modernization of existing nuclear plants to prolong their life cycles, and we are ready to play a major role in building the next generation of nuclear facilities.
In all our projects we use advanced technology to ensure that new facilities are cost-efficient and meet or exceed environmental standards. In addition to generating electricity for homes and businesses, Bechtel-built power plants provide many jobs to local residents.

Nuclear Power
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.
