Selected articles from By the Protocol, highlighting key themes in nuclear communication, system thinking and documentation-driven technical reconstruction.
A documentation-driven reconstruction of a NuScale-style SMR core, focused on the spatial relationship between fuel assemblies, control rod assemblies, in-core instrumentation, upper core structures, and the wider logic of compact reactor architecture.
Nuclear systems are not designed around optimism. They are designed around credible failure, conservative margins, physical feedback, redundancy, and verified safety functions. Safety is not treated as a promise, but as a documented property of the system.
A PWR fuel assembly is more than a repeated structure of rods and grids. It is a compact system of geometry, materials, neutron behavior, coolant flow, and operational discipline. This article explores how 3D reconstruction can make that hidden reactor logic visible.
A search for cathedral references unexpectedly led to a reactor hall image, Cherenkov light, and the beginning of a documentation-driven approach to nuclear 3D reconstruction.
