Absorbing Neutrons, Shaping Time
Boron and gadolinium do not produce energy in a reactor. They help define the conditions under which energy can be produced safely, predictably, and over time.
When Documentation Becomes Space
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.
