The Nuclear Fuel Services site is a nuclear fuel plant on a 65-acre gated complex at Erwin, Tennessee. The company's original facility was at Ashford, New York, from 1964 to 1972, on a site that later became the West Valley Demonstration Project.

The Erwin plant supplied fuel for the U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered vessels beginning in the 1960s. In 2007 the National Nuclear Security Administration awarded the company a contract to convert 17.4 metric tons of highly enriched uranium for the America's Reliable Fuel Supply program. In May 2008 the NRC released information on two incidents from 2006 at Erwin: a leak of liquid containing highly enriched uranium, and an unmanaged accumulation point in an elevator shaft where enough uranium could have collected to form a critical mass.
