Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT

TO

RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

BWX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

BWX Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”) does hereby further certify as follows:

1.Article SEVENTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended as follows:

SEVENTH: No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions will not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer (as applicable) (a) for any breach of that director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, as the same exists or as that provision hereafter may be amended, supplemented or replaced, or (d) for any transactions from which that director or officer derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended after the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by that law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article SEVENTH by the stockholders of the Corporation will be prospective only and will not have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of a director or officer of the Corporation arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to such repeal or modification.

2.This Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

3.This Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be executed by its duly authorized officer on this 5th day of May, 2025.
