Commissioning a Fusion Machine

The staged turn-on from cold systems to first plasma to demonstrated performance.

Path

Cold → first plasma → power

Commissioning takes a built machine from individual cold systems, through integrated cold checks, to first plasma and then a staged climb to full performance. Each stage has entry and exit criteria, and nothing advances until the prior stage passes. It is the disciplined bridge between construction and operation.

Kronos frames the commissioning sequence explicitly as part of its path to build.
