They don’t contract it out to Westinghouse or other similar companies?

Its actually really complicated on the supplier end. There is a lot of joint stuff with contractors and the DOE.

Yeah I'm not sure why they think the Navy is doing it… I think the Navy is "just" the customer. Of course there's a lot involved in being the customer too.

I don't think the Navy is "just" the customer in a normal DOD contracting sense. It looks like more joint research and DOE involvement. Plus, mix it multiple contractors and locations and you have a very complicated chain.

Yep that's why I put "just" in quotes above.
