Safety Aspects of an Inertial Confinement Fusion Reactor

摘要

Releases into the environment of radioactive materials contained in heavy ion fusion (HIF) reactor plants must be prevented by similar safety design concepts as they are applied to present fission converter (e.g. LWR's) and breeder reactors (LMFBR's). This study is intended to identify significant safety aspects of inertial confinement fusion power plant concepts and to relate them to the more familliar basis of knowledge about the safety and the hazards of other advanced nuclear power reactor systems such as the LMFBR. Needs for safety related research and development specifically for inertial confinement fusion are pointed out. (ERA citation 10:045849)
