Neutron detection & national security.
Helium-3 is the premier neutron-detector gas — the material behind radiation portal monitors, treaty verification, and nuclear forensics. Kronos makes it a domestic product again.
Why helium-3
The detector gas of record.
01
Portal monitoring
Via ³He(n,p)³H, helium-3 is the premier neutron-detector gas at ports, borders, and checkpoints.
02
Treaty & forensics
The same detection underpins arms-control verification and nuclear forensics — capabilities that depend on reliable ³He supply.
03
Domestic again
HYPERION breeds helium-3 at home, easing a supply gap that has persisted since the federal auction ended in 2009.
A domestic helium-3 stream is a national-security supply chain, not just a commodity — bred here, not scavenged from decay elsewhere.
