Amentum Holdings announced it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration to begin negotiations for a phased lease agreement to develop a major AI data center at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The public-private project would include a 1-gigawatt AI data center supported by approximately 2 gigawatts of on-site power generation, initially powered by natural gas with plans to transition to advanced nuclear energy technologies. Upon completion, it is expected to become one of the largest integrated AI and energy infrastructure projects in the United States.
The initiative is designed to expand domestic AI computing capacity while strengthening reliable energy generation through advanced technologies. Amentum will leverage its decades of experience at the Savannah River Site and its expertise in nuclear operations, infrastructure development, and program management to execute the project.
