The Neutron Economy

How the breeder's neutrons create value — tritium, isotopes, and more.

Neutron power (breeder)
70.7 MW
Uses
Tritium, isotopes, He-3

The breeder's 70.7 MW of neutron power is not waste — it is the product. Neutrons breed tritium, can produce medical and industrial isotopes, and drive the helium-3 supply the burner needs. This 'neutron economy' is what makes the breeder a business before the burner reaches net electricity.

Kronos treats neutron management as value capture, not just a shielding problem.
