Creekstone Energy taps EnergySolutions to study nuclear-powered data center
Utah-based Creekstone Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with EnergySolutions to study the feasibility of building at least 2 gigawatts of advanced nuclear capacity to power a 25-acre data center Creekstone is planning in Delta, Utah.

MCNPX's geometric modeling capabilities are limited to Boolean combinations of primitive geometric shapes. These capabilities are not sufficient for simulating particle transport in stellerators, whose geometric models are quite complex. We describe a CAD based implementation of MCNPX, where a CAD geometry engine is used directly for solid model representation and evaluation. The application of this code, to calculating the neutron wall loading distribution () in the Z and toroidal directions for the ARIES-CS design, is described.
