SCPN Reactor Systems

One research group stewards the reactor-family portfolio: SCPN-Fusion-Core as the solver laboratory, a shared kernel library, and twenty device-family cores, each the single owner of one reactor family’s configuration truth. Every materially distinct reactor family has its own core; families group configurations only when they share governing physics, driver, lifecycle and control boundary. The device cores are at the architecture stage: they carry no release numbers, no demos and no readiness claims. Each family heading opens its own page: the entry gate to the projects it contains. Read the plasma physics introduction first if the vocabulary is new.
