Y-12 National Security Complex

The Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) Project team completed initial energization of the Main Process Building (MPB), which is an important milestone as the project progresses with construction, testing and eventually operations. At 242,000 square feet, the MPB is UPF’s largest building and will support Y-12’s key missions. A team of over 2,000 craft professionals and professional staff are working to deliver the project and we thank them for their vital contributions to Y-12’s mission.

Seventeen Y-12ers contributed to #STEM education for students in East Tennessee by judging in the UT Southern Appalchain Science and Energy Fair (SASEF). Middle- and high-school students submitted projects across various disciplines, including engineering, natural sciences, and mathematics. Entries are solicited from 23 East Tennessee counties, with submissions opening in August 2024. This was the seventh year that Lindsey S. judged at SASEF. “The judging allows me to get out into the community and foster a love of science for the next generation,” he said. “SASEF has been the most rewarding volunteer opportunity I have ever been a part of.” #MyY12

The third annual #ORETTC XR Symposium starts tomorrow! We are excited to bring people together this week to discuss advances in XR technology that can be leveraged to improve work across the Nuclear Security Enterprise during this nuclear renaissance.

Infinity, Y-12’s servant leadership group, recently hosted a morning of volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee. A group of Y-12 coworkers helped process and label bulk donated food to prepare it for distribution. This will feed neighbors in need across 18 East Tennessee counties.

Thanks to the generosity of our employees, we donated five 50-gallon barrels or 1,872.5 lbs. of food to the United Way of Anderson, Campbell, Morgan and Scott Counties' Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program! Food donations support participating families and program volunteers. #MyY12

We enjoyed hosting Leadership Oak Ridge at Y-12. They learned about our important national security work with the nuclear deterrent, reducing global threats, and fueling the Nuclear Navy, as well as the role that Y 12 plays in the local economy. #MyY12
