Fusion as a Tritium Source

Tritium is scarce and the fusion industry needs more of it. The breeder makes it.

Output
4.0 kg/yr
Breeding ratio
1.8

Tritium is scarce, expensive, and needed by every D–T fusion effort. HYPERION's blanket breeds 4.0 kg/yr at a breeding ratio of 1.8 — more than it consumes — positioning Kronos as a potential supplier to the wider fusion ecosystem, independent of solving net electricity.

The bankable baseOf the breeder's outputs, tritium is the most clearly bankable near-term product; helium-3's value is framed as strategic, not immediate revenue.
