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.

Particle orbit simulations are carried out to study the ion orbits and loss at the edge of a tokamak plasma. The ion loss conditions are examined as a function of v||/v0 and the distance of ion launching points from the magnetic separatrix. The simulation results are compared with the theoretical ones. Good agreements and detailed features are shown in the simulations.
