Helium-3 for Quantum and Medicine
Helium-3 is scarce and strategically valuable well beyond fusion. The breeder makes its own.
- Breeder output
- 1.97 kg/yr
- Uses
- Quantum, detection, medical
Helium-3 is used in quantum-computing dilution refrigerators, neutron detection, and medical imaging — and is genuinely scarce. HYPERION co-produces about 1.97 kg/yr as part of its fuel cycle, giving Kronos an internal supply and a strategic position in a constrained material.
Strategic value ≠ revenueKronos frames helium-3's value as strategic and enabling, distinct from near-term revenue, which rests on tritium.
