  1. Dear Mr. Adams,
    I am intent on designing and building of a modular, 50 MW, TMSR which I would like to have approved by the NRC for production. I am in the process of locating an engineering firm that could navigate the approval process, in a cost efficient manner. Siting your expertise, I would appreciate your list of top prospects.
    Your help is appreciated,
    Sincerely,

    John Duffy
