===Ship-Submarine Recycling Program===
{{unreferenced section|date=November 2014}}
In 1990 the Navy authorized the [[Ship-Submarine Recycling Program]] (SRP) to recycle nuclear-powered ships at PSNS. Approximately 25% of the shipyard's workload involves inactivation, reactor compartment disposal, and recycling of ships. It has pioneered an environmentally safe method of deactivating and recycling nuclear-powered ships. This process places the U.S. Navy in the role of being the world's only organization to design, build, operate, and recycle nuclear-powered ships. On 15 May 2003 PSNS and IMF were consolidated into what is now known as PSNS & IMF.

PSNS is the only U.S. facility certified to recycle nuclear ships. During all this period Puget Sound Naval Shipyard has scrapped more than 125 submarines and some cruisers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Navy exploring private firms for typically PSNS work|url=http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/navy-exploring-private-firms-for-typically-psns-work-399445df-bafd-47dc-e053-0100007f5f26-389653521.html|access-date=12 August 2016}}</ref>
