The Two-Machine Architecture

One machine breeds fuel and neutrons; a second burns clean fuel for electricity. Splitting the job is the core innovation.

Breeder

Fuel & neutrons

Burner

Clean electricity

Kronos's foundational innovation is refusing to make one machine do everything. A compact D–T breeder is optimised to make tritium, neutrons and helium-3; a separate low-neutron D–³He burner is optimised to make electricity by direct conversion. Each machine is simpler and better-suited to its job than a single do-it-all reactor.

The principle — 'fuel follows purpose, not platform' — reshapes both the physics and the business model.
