Fusion and Water Use

Water is a real siting question for any thermal plant. Kronos reports it rather than skipping it.

Breeder
Thermal-plant cooling
Burner
Reduced via direct conversion

Like other thermal generators, the breeder rejects waste heat and needs cooling. The burner's direct energy conversion recovers energy without a full steam cycle, which can reduce cooling-water demand — a genuine siting advantage worth stating precisely rather than overselling.

Screening studyWater and waste footprints are part of Kronos's environmental screening, with honest uncomputed items flagged.
