Helium-3

A rare, light helium isotope; the burner's fuel and a strategic material.

Helium-3 is a rare, non-radioactive helium isotope. It fuels the D–³He burner and is strategically valuable for quantum and medical uses. The breeder co-produces about 1.97 kg/yr, giving Kronos an internal supply path.
