Amentum has opened a new facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, which will serve as a central hub for nuclear engineering, operations and expertise.
The company said Thursday that the Nuclear Center of Excellence will focus on advancing large- and small-scale nuclear power projects by drawing on its global experience in the nuclear sector.
Driving Innovation and Collaboration
The center will support the development of advanced technologies suited to the complexity of nuclear systems, including artificial intelligence, automation, safety and cybersecurity.
It will also collaborate with government agencies and industry partners to share knowledge, foster innovation and enhance the modernization and maintenance of nuclear infrastructure.
Advancing U.S. Energy and Security Goals
The center supports Amentum’s broader mission to deliver nuclear capabilities that enable large-scale energy production, support advanced energy technologies and reinforce national security.
“We will leverage our expertise in the Oak Ridge region pulling upon our rich history of innovative solutions for U.S. energy needs and national security,” said Mark Whitney, president of energy and environment at Amentum, during the center’s announcement at the East Tennessee Economic Council.
