GNEP will provide small-scale reactors suitable for emerging economies that currently depend on oil and other fossil fuels for growing energy demands. Addressing this market is essential to safely expanding nuclear energy in developing nations and small-grid markets without increasing proliferation concerns.

GNEP will build on the recent advances made by the President and Congress to stimulate new nuclear plant construction in the U.S. This will be accomplished by demonstrating the success of the streamlined regulations for siting, constructing and operating new nuclear plants through the Nuclear Power 2010 program, and by implementing incentives enacted through the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005). At 20 percent of the total electricity supply in the nation, nuclear power is the second largest source of domestic electricity, while seventy percent comes from fossil burning fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil). Increasing the amount of electricity generated by nuclear power is critical to moving the nation toward a more sustainable and secure energy future.

The Department of Energy (DOE) mission at the Oak Ridge AND OBJECTIVE Reservation requires a paramilitary protective force comprised of several hundred security police officers to safeguard the production and storage of nuclear weapons components, special nuclear material, and other sensitive work. Wackenhut Services, Inc. (Wackenhut) initially provided protective force services for the Oak Ridge Reservation under one contract. However, protective services for the Y-12 National Security Complex were segregated into a separate contract following the establishment of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). As a result, Wackenhut now provides protective services for the Oak Ridge Reservation under two essentially identical contracts. One contract, with the DOE Oak Ridge Office, covers the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, East Tennessee Technology Park, and the DOE Federal building complex in Oak Ridge. The other contract, with the NNSA Y-12 Site Office in Oak Ridge, covers the Y-12 National Security Complex. The protective force contracts were structured to combine elements of a time-and-materials type contract with elements of an incentive type contract, characterized as a time-and-materials-award fee contract.
