Green — Operations and Ecosystem

Green blocks run the plant as an operating asset — dispatch, scheduling, maintenance, and supply chain — described purely by operational role.

What green means

Green marks operations and ecosystem integration: the functions that keep the plant running as part of a larger system. Green concentrates at L7 and in the operations copilot at L5, and it is deliberately described by operational role only — dispatch timing, grid synchronization, maintenance sequencing — never by any financial figure.

What lives in green

• Grid synchronization and dispatch scheduling for the plant's output.
• Predictive-maintenance planning driven by structural-health-monitoring trends.
• Supply-chain integration for consumables and the fuel cycle's isotope logistics.
• Fleet coordination across breeder and burner units.

Operations, not economics

Green answers operational questions — when to bring a unit to full power, when to schedule divertor inspection, how to sequence a fuel-cycle campaign. It never touches price, cost, or value; those are outside the architecture entirely. The operations copilot reasons about availability and timing, not markets.

Both machines and the fuel cycle

On the breeder, green coordinates the tritium and helium-3 balance produced by the fuel cycle — roughly a 4 kg/yr tritium class output and 1.97 kg/yr helium-3 — as a logistics and scheduling problem. On the burner, green schedules D-3He supply against the direct-energy-conversion train's operating windows.

Green's real-time link to hardware is the fuel cycle's isotope balancing; see the stack and the fuel cycle.
