Documentation-driven 3D reconstruction of complex nuclear and industrial systems, based on public sources, spatial reasoning and technical context.
A nine-month, documentation-driven reconstruction of the NuScale Power Module progressed from a single fuel assembly to an integrated 3D cutaway of the complete module. It shows how components become a system, why the HCSG was the most demanding part, and where public documentation sets the reconstruction boundary.
An FSAR-based 3D reconstruction of the NuScale SMR containment vessel, focusing on the documented CNV configuration, access openings, support lugs, refueling flange, DHRS nozzles, and simplified ECCS trip/reset actuator penetrations.
A natural-draft cooling tower is easy to recognize from a distance. Understanding it is something else. This article follows the reconstruction of a cooling tower beyond its familiar silhouette, toward the internal logic of water distribution, airflow, evaporation, access, and heat rejection.
A documentation-driven reconstruction of a NuScale SMR reactor pressure vessel, based on publicly available FSAR documentation and developed from internal volume and system topology toward upper internals, CRA and ICI penetrations, CRDM housing interfaces, feedwater geometry, and containment vessel constraints.
In the NuScale SMR integral PWR configuration, the reactor pressure vessel is not only a pressure boundary around the core. Based on publicly available FSAR documentation, it can be read as a compact system architecture where core geometry, steam generation, pressurizer volume, natural circulation and passive safety functions are closely connected.
A documentation-driven reconstruction of a NuScale SMR core, based on publicly available FSAR documentation and 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.
A documentation-driven reconstruction of a NuScale SMR 17×17 fuel assembly, based on publicly available FSAR documentation, developed from HMP/HTP spacer grids toward the complete assembly and compared with a standard Westinghouse 17×17 PWR fuel assembly.
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 documentation-driven 3D reconstruction of the HI-STORM 100S dry cask system, focused on confinement, shielding, passive cooling, criticality control and the spatial logic behind spent fuel storage.
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.
