curated documents pertaining to early molten salt reactor research.
poor text formatting in many of the publically available pdf scans of documents pertaining to early molten salt reactors make it cumbersome to sift out specific details. this repository is intending to make a searchable archive of ocr text files of documents pertaining to molten salt reactors, the need of which stem from the msre cad file project.
documents are rescanned with optical character recognition (ocr) using ocrmypdf, tesseract, and training set 'eng.traineddata'.
disclaimer: this repository is not intended to be a distribution of pdf documents, or an infringement on any possible copyright claims. for the original documents we refer to other sites, such as ornl's library catalog or energyfromthorium.
this repo uses git lfs (git large file storage) to manage version history of pdf's. so to clone this repo with the pdf's to your system you'll need to install git and git-lfs.
to search the repository for a keyword or phase it's recommended to use the atom editor's 'search in folder' function on the '/ocr' folder as is demonstrated here for the keyword 'msbr' using the plus and minus buttons at the top the context can be expanded or contracted. the individual pdf documents of interest in the '/docs' folder can then be opened with a pdf viewer. this method can be used to find documents with relevant information. be aware that the ocr is not great and there can be issues with missing spaces and wrong identification of letters and numbers, e.g. 'l00p' instead of 'loop'.
