Burn Control

Regulating fusion power by adjusting fuelling and heating.

Burn control keeps fusion power at its set point by trimming fuelling and heating — straightforward in a driven machine, where turning the heating down turns the power down. It is what makes a driven design controllable.

Burn control keeps fusion power at its set point by trimming fuelling and heating, and in a driven machine it is straightforward: turn the heating down and the power follows. That controllability is a direct consequence of Kronos choosing driven operation over ignition.
