Comparison of predicted doses due to a continuous HTO release

Development and validation of a dynamical atmosphere–vegetation–soil HTO transport and OBT formation model

“…Release of tritium from a fusion plant under a normal operation is estimated to be 1 g y À1 , which is more than thousand times that from a nuclear fission power plant of 1000 MW level, a major power plant in the present (Okada and Momoshima, 1993). As a result, collective dose from tritium can increase significantly in the future, and therefore precise safe assessment for tritium release has been required (Barry et al, 1999;Bartels, 1991;Murphy, 1991;Raskob and Barry, 1997).…”
