Kronos Fusion Energy has frozen the design point of its Hyperion breeder at a fusion gain of Q = 3.076, publishing the full underlying dataset under DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22645691.

The breeder is evaluated on materials output rather than net electric power, and the frozen point fixes the headline performance number against which future engineering iterations are measured.
