A jury found for the employees in December 2000, and judgment was rendered in 2002. Twenty-eight of those dismissed sued in January 1997 under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. All of the dismissed employees were at least 40 years old. It developed a matrix to rank employees based on three factors: performance, flexibility and criticality of their jobs, and added points for years of service. The Lab had instituted a voluntary buyout plan but could not attain the desired staff reduction. Knolls Atomic Power Lab (Docket 06-1505), was filed by 28 of 31 employees dismissed during downsizing at the lab in 1996. In June 2008, a 7-1 decision of the United States Supreme Court placed the burden on all employers to prove that a layoff affecting older workers is based on reasonable factors other than age, reversing a lower court that placed the burden of proving age discrimination on the dismissed employees. KAPL was sued in a precedent-setting age discrimination lawsuit. KAPL has one computer listed on the TOP500 list of supercomputers in the world. KAPL was one of the first laboratories to conduct research on obtaining usable power from nuclear reactors. KAPL's original contractor was General Electric. The previous operating contractor of KAPL was Lockheed Martin. Previously operated by Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bechtel National Incorporated. KAPL, as well as Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, is managed and operated by Fluor Marine Propulsion Corporation, a subsidiary of Fluor Corporation. KAPL had taken over operation of the S1C Prototype in the 1960s after expiration of the Navy's original contract with Combustion Engineering. The S1C site remedial action was declared to be complete by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection in October 2006.

In 2006 KAPL achieved full remediation of the S1C Prototype Reactor site located in Windsor, Connecticut. KAPL employs more than 2,600 people at these sites and others, mostly shipyards in the states of California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Virginia, and Washington. This site is also used to train officers and enlisted personnel for the U.S. The West Milton site operates land-based prototypes of shipboard reactor plants. Niskayuna is the primary site for the KAPL, focusing on the design and development of naval propulsion plants and reactor cores. KAPL operates two sites in New York, the Knolls site in Niskayuna and the Kenneth A. The Chart has been compiled, edited and periodically revised by KAPL scientists since 1956. This chart is a necessity for students and professionals in nuclear physics, chemistry, engineering, and medicine around the world. The Chart of the Nuclides, containing information such as masses, relative abundances, half-lives, neutron cross sections, and decay properties for more than 3,100 nuclides and 580 isomers was developed at KAPL. In 19, Jimmy Carter, who would later become a US president, worked at KAPL as an engineer. Several years later Knolls' work joined that of Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, the Argonne National Laboratory, and others in developing the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus on January 21, 1954. In 1950, the nuclear power plant project was converted to a Naval Nuclear Propulsion project.
Government to conduct nuclear research and development, including the generation of electricity from nuclear energy. The Naval Nuclear Laboratory also has an established presence at numerous shipyards and vendor locations around the globe.We are dedicated solely to the support of the United States Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program.On May 15, 1946, KAPL began with a contract between General Electric and the U.S. The Naval Nuclear Laboratory has nearly 8,000 employees working at primary locations in Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina, and Idaho. Kesselring Site, and the Naval Reactors Facility which have proudly supported the nation since 1946. Navy's submarines and aircraft carrier Fleets.The Naval Nuclear Laboratory includes the Bettis and Knolls Atomic Power Laboratories, the Kenneth A. Department of Energy locations and personnel responsible for developing advanced naval nuclear propulsion technology, providing technical support to ensure the safety and reliability of our nation's naval nuclear reactors, and training the Sailors who operate those reactors in the U.S.
The Naval Nuclear Laboratory comprises the U.S. The Naval Nuclear Laboratory is operated by Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC.
