A series of layoffs at Savannah River Site’s Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility bring the total South Carolina nuclear construction jobs lost to more than 5,200 in just three months.
Approximately
200 construction jobs were eliminated, according to Chicago Bridge & Iron spokeswoman Gentry Brann. CB&I is a leading contract company in the consortium CB&I Areva MOX Services, responsible for constructing the MOX facility.
“We recently completed layoffs of approximately 200 construction positions at the MOX project,” Brann said.
