State: Missouri

Facility Type: Department of Energy

Facility Description

The Kansas City Plant was constructed in 1942 to build aircraft engines for the Navy. After World War II, it was used for storage. In 1949, the AEC asked the Bendix Corporation to take over part of the facility and it began manufacturing nonnuclear components for nuclear weapons. Electrical, electromechanical, mechanical, and plastic components are manufactured or procured by this facility.

In 1993, the Department of Energy officially designated the Kansas City Plant as the consolidated site for all nonnuclear components for nuclear weapons.

As of 1996, production activities at the site were still occurring and expected to continue indefinitely.

Throughout the course of its operations, the potential for beryllium exposure existed at this site, due to beryllium use, residual contamination, and decontamination activities.

CONTRACTORS: Honeywell FM&T (1999-present); Allied-Signal Aerospace (formerly Bendix) (1949-1999)
