Episode Details

The government is transforming the historic Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Kentucky — once a Cold War-era uranium enrichment facility — into a massive AI data center campus, complete with new natural gas power plants and battery storage. Brookfield Asset Management will lead the data center development, while NextEra Energy handles the energy infrastructure, with local utilities set to join. Construction could begin within years, targeting completion by the early 2030s — part of a broader push to boost U.S. computing power and energy capacity. This isn’t the first repurposing of a nuclear site: a similar plan is underway in Ohio. It’s a bold, energy-intensive pivot from nuclear history to AI’s future.
