The burner's frozen point (Mode M): QE = 1.31, neutron fraction 5.44%, ion temperature 90 keV (electrons 89.78 keV), density 2.6e20 m^-3, ³He fraction 0.30, central beta 0.55, central-cell radius 0.86 m, DEC efficiency 0.70, plug field 26.49 T (throat 17 T).
The same physics scales in length across three housings: 55 m → +104 MWe (0.537 GW thermal-class), 440 m → +850 MWe (4.298 GW), and 1400 m → +2832 MWe (13.678 GW) — MetroVolt-scale.
