Integrated fusion environmental and safety systems studies

Code development incorporating environmental, safety, and economic aspects of fusion reactors (FY 92--94). Final report

“…Through these interactions, we have gained much experience in understanding the safety and environmental impacts on fusion reactor design from the perspective of reactor designers. We have also participated and contributed papers at international safety meetings, including the IAEA Technical Committee Meeting on the Development of Fusion Safety in June, 1993 Conventionally, environmental and safety (E&S) assessments are performed only for afterthe-fact, pointdesign studies of specific, completed reactor designs. Our project goal is to develop computationally fast systems-code modules to carry out E&S analyses in parallel with other plasma and engineering analyses now incorporated in systems codes.…”
