contents <p>We propose a theory-neutral observational protocol for monitoring the temporal response of the local gravitational potential near commercial nuclear power plants using a multi-baseline optical lattice clock array. The protocol extends same-site temporal monitoring from a single-clock configuration to a structured network consisting of near (30–50 m), mid (100–300 m), far (500 m–1 km), and remote reference stations. Its central principle is to keep observing points spatially fixed while tracking only the temporal evolution of clock behavior across reactor operation, shutdown, and recovery phases. Order-of-magnitude estimates confirm that the pure standard-GR mass-defect signal is far below current and near-future clock sensitivity, even at close range. The protocol therefore targets not a static absolute shift, but reproducible time-dependent residual structure — especially during post-shutdown recovery — tested against known systematics and spatial pattern across the array. A long-exposure strategy treats each operational cycle as a single integrated observation, with multi-cycle stacking over years to build statistical power. A key finding is that multi-unit reactor sites (such as the eight-unit Bruce Nuclear Generating Station in Canada) provide structured operational diversity that qualitatively strengthens stacking speed, matched-filter power, and null-test architecture compared to single-unit facilities. The protocol is deployable at smaller sites for proof of principle, but reaches full discovery potential at large multi-unit facilities. V118 is best understood as a standalone observational specification — independent of any particular theoretical framework — for experimentally probing local gravitational-potential response using precision clocks in a controlled large-scale mass–energy conversion environment.</p>
