Open data — two Zenodo deposits, run the numbers yourself

2026-08-08T15:00:00+00:00 — Kronos Fusion Energy

The full design behind both machines is open on Zenodo (CC BY 4.0) — engines, data, and one-command reproduction.

Kronos released two citable open-data deposits: the spherical-tokamak breeder (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21746157) and the D–³He tandem-mirror burner (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21746479), both CC BY 4.0. Each contains the evaluator, input data, and a one-command reproduction of the frozen design point. Read them, run them, check us.
