Question
What is Kronos Fusion Energy?
Kronos Fusion Energy is a company building compact, low-neutron fusion generators — MetroVolt for commercial power and AEGIS for defense — engineered in the open.
Kronos Fusion Energy's premise is "the fusion company that shows its work": every design number is published against a dated gate schedule, and all simulation data and code are released openly. Its two products — MetroVolt and AEGIS — run on the shared S.M.A.R.T. architecture.
What distinguishes it technically is the combination of negative triangularity, low-neutron D–³He fuel, and direct energy conversion.
Questions & answers
What is Kronos Fusion Energy?
Kronos Fusion Energy is a fusion company developing compact, low-neutron fusion generators for firm, city-scale power. Its two products — MetroVolt (commercial) and AEGIS (defense) — share one design platform, the S.M.A.R.T. architecture, and it publishes its design numbers, data, and open questions openly.
What does Kronos actually make?
A negative-triangularity spherical tokamak running low-neutron deuterium–helium-3 fuel with multi-modal direct energy conversion, designed to deliver firm, dispatchable electricity. MetroVolt targets 0.61–0.84 GWe of net output per unit.
What stage is the company at?
Design and simulation-validation. Kronos has deposited an open 81-analysis validation record and advances through a pre-registered gate program. It has not yet built a reactor — the figures are design-point values, published transparently.
