DOE seeks proposals for AI data centers at Paducah
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management has issued a request for offer (RFO) seeking proposals from U.S. companies to build and power AI data centers on the DOE’s Paducah Site in Kentucky. Companies are being sought to potentially enter into one or more long-term leasing agreements at the site that would be solely funded by the applicants.

The Greuling-Goertzel approximation is applied to the calculation of neutron slowing down in heavy water in the B1 and P1 approximations. Numerical calculations of the flux and nonescape probability assuming constant cross sections indicate the “inconsistent” G-G B1 approximation to be the most favorable. Existing machine codes can readily be modified to this method.
