SECTION 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01    Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report.

In this Form SD, unless the context otherwise indicates, "BWXT", "we," "us" and "our" mean BWX Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

In 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued the final rule for implementing Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The rule requires public companies to disclose their use of conflict minerals within manufactured products. The term "conflict minerals" refers to cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite and their derivatives, which are currently limited to tin, tantalum and tungsten. We identified tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold ("3TG") that are necessary to the functionality or production of products that we manufactured or contracted to manufacture during the period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 (the "Reporting Period"). Therefore, we performed a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine whether any of the 3TG we utilized during the Reporting Period originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (the "DRC Region") and were not from recycled or scrap sources. Based on our reasonable country of origin inquiry, we determined that we may have some suppliers that sourced 3TG from the DRC Region and proceeded to conduct due diligence on our supplier base. Accordingly, we have filed a Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.

Our website address is www.bwxt.com. We will make available through the Investors section of this website under "SEC Filings," this Form SD, including the Conflict Minerals Report, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file our Form SD with the SEC. We have also posted our Conflict Minerals Policy on our website. The inclusion of our website within this filing is not intended to incorporate by reference any materials other than the Form SD, Conflict Minerals Report and Conflict Minerals Policy included therein.

Item 1.02    Exhibit.

As specified in Section 2 of Form SD, we are hereby filing our Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.
