How big is a Kronos machine?

The breeder is genuinely compact — a 1.2 m major-radius spherical tokamak. The burner is linear and scales by product: 55 m (reference), 440 m (AEGIS), 1400 m (MetroVolt). One physics core, three lengths.

Compactness comes from high field; the burner's length sets its power class.
