Fusion and Non-Proliferation
Fusion does not make bomb material as a by-product. That is a structural advantage.
- Plutonium
- None
- Enriched uranium
- Not required
A fusion plant produces no plutonium and requires no enriched uranium; its fuels are hydrogen isotopes and helium-3. The proliferation concerns that shadow fission simply do not arise in the same way.
A fusion plant produces no plutonium and needs no enriched uranium; its fuels are hydrogen isotopes and helium-3, so fission's proliferation concerns do not arise in the same way. A high neutron flux is a safeguards-and-siting consideration handled by design and oversight, which Kronos treats as part of responsible deployment rather than an empty topic.
