What the heck does this mean?

"In cooperation with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, BWXT will use its unique capabilities and facilities to develop the ability to implement additive materials manufacturing to the fabrication process for nuclear components and sub-components that will yield acceptable material structure and strength that can be accepted by the national code organizations and the regulator."

Sure seems like a lot of words to say very little.

ORNL does a lot of materials and manufacturing research. Neutron Spallation facility, 3D printing technology, graphene, nano technology etc.
