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.

A newly developed computer code, FONS-AERO, is used to simulate the flow parameters of a carrier gas and an aerosol in an idealized vented containment during a blowdown. The code is a transient, multidimensional turbulent flow code that can handle gas and aerosol flows simultaneously under various flow situations. Complicated boundary conditions can also be readily incorporated. Some initial results of aerosol distribution in the containment and sensitivity to aerosol types are presented.
