PDF not DWG? This is like compiled code not source code. #6

Could Transatomic Power please supply whatever CAD files were used to create the PDFs and various images in the documents or models for testing?

I could leverage models for communication but can't really do much with blueprints. And I suspect anyone looking to iterate on the blueprints will have to rebuild everything from scratch if only equipped with PDFs from Transatomic.

For example, DigitalCarbon on Vimeo...

...has turned ORNL MSBR blueprints into models, to help visualize. Those models and animations are helpful to me as b-roll in narratives about MSR.

It would be a shame to have anyone invest that kind of effort to recreate work done by TAP, so 3D models can exist. Could TAP upload them to a folder?

Thank you, -Gord

Thanks, Gord -- we're going to be adding additional files in the coming weeks, hopefully including CAD files. We need to verify that each batch of files is in compliance with export control, so it's taking a bit longer than I anticipated.

Hi Leslie,

My team is base din the UK and is really interested in looking at those CAD designs, your team seems to have completed a tonne of work on initial designs looking at the PDFs, what is the situation with TAP giving out these designs?

Thanks!
