The Freeze Discipline
One number, everywhere. That is the freeze discipline.
When Kronos freezes a design, that operating point becomes canonical: papers, figures, the interactive 3D model, the live simulator and this library all draw from it. No artefact is allowed to quietly carry a different number.
The current freeze fixes the breeder at Q = 3.424 / 88.7 MW and the burner at QE = 1.31 / fn = 5.44%.
Change controlWhen the design evolves, the freeze is updated deliberately and the change is recorded — never silently overwritten.
