INTOR Critical Issue D: Maintainability. Tritium Containment and Personnel Access Vs Remote Maintenance, Chapter VI of the US INTOR Report for Phase Two A, Part 2

摘要

The purpose of this study is to compare the benefits and costs associated with personnel access mmaintenance procedures compared to those of all-remote maintenance procedures. The INTOR Phase Two A, Part I configuration was used to make this comparison. For both approaches, capital and operating costs were considered to first order, maintenance equipment requirements were investigated, maintenance requirements common to both approaches and unique to each were identified, tritium handling requirements were outlined, and maintenance scenarios and device downtime were developed for both. In addition, estimates of person-rem exposure were made for the personnel access approach. (ERA citation 10:007998)
