Open Science Comes to Fusion
Why publishing reproducible engines, not just results, is a shift for the field.
Fusion has historically communicated through papers and press. Depositing the actual reduced-order engines, inputs and expected outputs — so anyone can reproduce the numbers — is a cultural shift. Kronos leans into it: five open Zenodo deposits under CC BY 4.0, plus a public interactive model and live simulator.
The wager is that in a field with a history of over-promising, radical reproducibility is a durable form of credibility.
Common questions
Publishing the actual engines, inputs and expected outputs — not just conclusions — as open Zenodo deposits under CC BY 4.0, so anyone can reproduce the results.
Because much of the field shares results but not the means to check them. Letting skeptics re-run your numbers is a deliberate, durable credibility strategy.
