Complementary Work

The capabilities attained at Y‑12 in performing weapons work uniquely qualify it to make critical contributions to other missions of national interest. Today Y‑12 lends its specialized expertise to other federal agencies, such as the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security, state and local governments and private-sector companies.

Y‑12 projects run the gamut from supporting soldiers in combat to making our states safer to enhancing space missions. Applying our capabilities to these missions while still meeting our Department of Energy commitments ensures maximum benefit to our ultimate customer, the U.S. taxpayer.
