The Neutron Economy
How the breeder's neutrons create value — tritium, isotopes, and more.
- Neutron power (breeder)
- 70.7 MW
- Uses
- Tritium, isotopes, He-3
The breeder's 70.7 MW of neutron power is not waste — it is the product. Neutrons breed tritium, can produce medical and industrial isotopes, and drive the helium-3 supply the burner needs. This 'neutron economy' is what makes the breeder a business before the burner reaches net electricity.
Kronos treats neutron management as value capture, not just a shielding problem.
