The Helium-3 Supply Story
Why helium-3 is strategically valuable, and how the breeder produces it.
- Breeder He-3 output
- 1.97 kg/yr
- Uses
- Burner fuel, quantum, medical
Helium-3 is scarce and strategically valuable — for the burner's fuel, and for quantum and medical uses. The breeder co-produces about 1.97 kg/yr as part of its fuel cycle, giving Kronos an internal supply path rather than depending on external markets.
Kronos is careful to frame helium-3's strategic value as distinct from near-term revenue; the bankable base is tritium.
