Modular Nuclear Cogeneration Architecture (Open Reference Package)

Open reference architecture for modular nuclear cogeneration combining aqueous thorium-uranium-plutonium reactors, working-fluid doping as a unified design principle, and integrated industrial heat coverage including cement, glass, and steel via the 1/2 loop radiolysis architecture. Targets indefinite operation on raw monazite ore feedstocks. The same architecture, with feedstock substitutions, supports off-Earth settlement — the compactness constraint of space deployment is the driving design pressure that makes consolidated multipayload working-fluid transport architecturally necessary.

The package contains five documents:

- readme.pdf — Package motivation, structure, and reading guide. Start here.
- paper0-prior-art.pdf — Prior Art and Novelty Statement. Consolidates attributions and contribution claims for the whole package.
- paper1-cogeneration.pdf — Modular Nuclear Cogeneration Blocks (Engineering Reference). Module catalog, thermal interface tiers, worked material and energy balances.
- paper2-doping-thesis.pdf — Working-Fluid Doping as a Unified Architectural Principle. Conceptual framework with explicit regime boundaries.
- paper3-closed-loop.pdf — Closed-Loop Fuel Cycle Synthesis (Deployment Strategy). Four-phase deployment with explicit positioning relative to India's three-stage nuclear program and China's TMSR program.

The four substantive documents are intended to be read together; each cross-references the others and they share consolidated prior art in Paper 0. DOCX source files are included alongside the PDFs for readers wanting to adapt or extend the content.
