The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has invited private sector proposals to build large-scale Artificial Intelligence data centers at historic nuclear sites, including the Savannah River Site in South Carolina and the Oak Ridge Reservation in Tennessee.

The initiative seeks to pair advanced nuclear energy with next-generation computing, ensuring a reliable and sustainable power supply for the growing energy demands of AI.

The solicitation encourages bidders to incorporate innovative energy solutions, particularly advanced nuclear reactors and storage systems.

Selected private partners will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the projects, from construction to decommissioning, while securing their own utility interconnections.

The Savannah River Site, once central to U.S. nuclear weapons production, has transitioned into cleanup and research.

This project aims to repurpose the Cold War-era complex into a hub for digital and clean energy development, reinforcing American leadership in AI, energy, and technological competitiveness.
