Can Fusion Be Used for Weapons?
The short answer is no, and the reason is physics, not policy.

- None from operation
A fusion power plant runs a low-density plasma in near-steady state — precisely the wrong conditions for the explosive, ultra-fast, ultra-dense reaction a weapon requires. The plant cannot be operated as a weapon.
Safeguards still applyThe materials and neutron flux are subject to normal safeguards and export controls, which Kronos treats as part of responsible deployment.
