Lifecycle Environmental Assessment

Judging fusion on its whole lifecycle, not just clean operation.

Scope

Cradle to grave

An honest environmental case looks at the whole lifecycle — construction materials and embodied carbon, operation (zero-carbon, low waste), and decommissioning (short-lived activated material). Kronos frames its environmental screening this way, flagging the items still to be computed.

Zero operational carbon is not the whole story, and Kronos says so.
