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. On May 15, 1946, KAPL began with a contract between General Electric and the U.S.
